Dispatch business quickly,
And keep out of long debates and heats . . .
be swift to hear
and slow to speak,
and let it be in the grace,
which seasons all words.

George Fox in Plain Living by Catherine Whitmire

 

To Practice This Thought:
Pause and imagine that the words you are about to speak are simmering in God's grace.
