If there be ground for you to trust in your own righteousness, then, all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it is in vain.
~Jonathan Edwards

If people really see that Christ has removed the fear of punishment from them by taking it into Himself, they won't do whatever they want, they'll do whatever He wants.
~John Bunyan

Proverbs 17:28 (LSB)
Even an ignorant fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips, he is considered understanding.

Proverbs 10:8 (LSB)
The wise of heart will receive commandments,
But an ignorant fool of loose lips will be ruined.

Proverbs 10:19 (LSB)
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,
But he who holds back his lips has insight.

A wise person prefers to listen to God than to listen to his or her own words. They fear the LORD and obey Him.

Keep watch over the door of my lips.
