"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom;
yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
Doctrine and Covenants 88:118

"And the gatherer sought to find pleasing words, worthy writings, words of Truth."
Ecclesiastes 12:10

Restraint

I fear a Man of frugal speech -
I fear a Silent Man -
Haranguer - I can overtake -
Or Babbler - entertain -

But He who weigheth - while the Rest -
Expend their furthest pound -
Of this Man - I am wary -
I fear that He is Grand -



 Emily Dickinson
The Poems of Emily Dickinson (Franklin), 663
