Everyone is disgusted by a man<\/p>\n
who offends one and all with meaningless chatter.
\nKural 192<\/p>\n
Uttering useless words to crowds is worse
\nthan committing unkindnesses toward companions.
\nKural 193<\/p>\n
A long and pointless discourse itself declares
\nto all the speaker’s lack of worth.
\nKural 194<\/p>\n
Worthless words are doubly unprofitable: the listeners’
\nenjoyment is lost, and the speaker’s own virtues vanish.
\nKural 195<\/p>\n
Prestige and popularity flee the best of men
\nthe moment they speak inane and useless words.
\nKural 196<\/p>\n
Do not call him a man who enjoys displaying
\nhis own empty words. Rather, call him the chaff of men.
\nKural 197<\/p>\n
Let the wise, if they deem it necessary, speak even unpleasant
\nwords, but it is good if they always refrain from pointless speech.
\nKural 198<\/p>\n
Even in search of extraordinary gains, the wise
\nwill never speak trivial or ungainful words.
\nKural 199<\/p>\n
The wise, faultless and free from ignorance,
\nnever utter pointless words, even forgetfully.
\nKural 200<\/p>\n
In your speaking, say only that which is purposeful.
\nNever utter words that lack purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
