THE ART OF SILENCE

Once, a man both said that his neighbor was a thief,
  that the neighbor was later arrested.
Sometime later, they discovered that he was innocent.
The boy was released and, after much suffering and humiliation,
sued the neighbor.
In court, the neighbor told the judge:
- Comments do not cause much harm ...
And the judge responded:
- Write the comments you made ​​about him in a role.
Then chop up the paper and throw the pieces on the way home.
Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence!
The neighbor did and returned the next day, when the judge said:
- Before the sentencing, which will pick up the pieces of paper that
  spread yesterday!
- I can not do that, Your Honor!
- the man replied.
The wind must have them scattered all over the place
and I do not know where you are!
To which the judge responded:
- "Just a simple comment that
  can destroy the honor of a man
spreads to the point where we can no longer
repair the harm caused. "
"If we can not speak well of a person,
  is better than not say anything!
Let us be masters of our language, not to be
  slaves to our words. "
