Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

Sometimes afflictions are sent to a person even though he is innocent, so that he would suffer for others, as did Christ. The Saviour Himself first suffered for people. His Apostles suffered for the Church and for people. Perfect love means suffering for your neighbor.

St. Ambrose of Optina (+1891)

Never say anything to hurt anyone.

Moreover... refrain from double talk, from shrewd and canny remarks that are designed to advance our interests at someone's disadvantage.

We are to turn our back upon evil, and in every way possible, do good, help people and bring blessings into their lives.

Norman Vincent Peale

Hindsight isn't always 20-20. The nice thing about learning a lesson the hard way is that you remember what you've learned.
