Quote by Liz Armbruster

In what you say of another, apply the test of kindness, necessity and truth, and let nothing pass your lips without a 2/3 majority.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of being careful and considerate with our words when talking about others. It suggests using a three-fold test for what we say: kindness, necessity, and truth. By examining our words through these criteria, we can assess whether they are both necessary and truthful, while also ensuring they are kind and not harmful. Additionally, the notion of a 2/3 majority implies that the standard for expressing potentially negative things about others should be even higher, requiring a stronger justification.
