From an e-mail from The Desert Fathers Facebook group:
More people have been killed unnecessarily by the tip of the tongue than by the tip of even the sharpest sword.
May the Lord, in the word of Psalmist, which we chant each Saturday night at Great Vespers, set a guard over my mouth and keep watch over the door of my lips! [Psalm 141:3, ESV]
