These words need to be tatoo’d on politicians’ (& sadly, some church leaders) arms so they can refer to them before saying anything. A world lived through Gamache’s words would help us all feel at home.

Ma mère disait:”Toute vérité n’est pas bonne à dire…” which is the last part of the quote and, as mentioned before, words to live by.

I love this quote as a good foundation before speaking however, aren’t there times when things just have to be said although unkind? Makes me think perhaps it can be said in a way that is not unkind?

Teach them young these wise words to live by- be kind to one another and remember is it true, is it kind and does it need to be said(repeated).
Muggins is a ham!

Everyone could benefit from this quote….one well-known person comes to mind right now. Knowing when to stay quiet is something I’m always trying to remember….and also think before you speak is a good thing. 🙂

Thanks for the hours of good reading and though-filled insights and inspiration. I am a Theologian and use you characters and quotes often. I love All of them but Ruth gives me the permission to tell the truth to people who know what I mean when I say that “ I’m fine” that means help!

Why is it that humans hate silence and feel the need to fill the void with talk? Truth, kindness, and good judgement are necessary. A bit of silence before speaking is wise.
