Silence is the only language of the realized. Practice moderation in speech. That will help you in many ways. It will develop Prema (love), for most misunderstandings and factions arise out of carelessly spoken words. When the foot slips, the wound can be healed; but when the tongue slips, the wound it causes in the heart of another will fester for life.
The tongue is liable to four big errors: uttering falsehood, scandalizing, finding fault with others, and excessive speech. All these have to be avoided if there is to be Shanthi (peace) for the individual as well as for society.
-Sai Baba
