THE HEART OF MAN

When a sieve is shaken, the husks appear;
so do one's faults when one speaks.
As the test of what the potter molds is in the
furnace, so in tribulation is the test of the just.
The fruit of a tree shows the care it has had;
so too does ones's speech disclose the bent
of one's mind.
Praise no one before he speaks, for it is
then the people are tested. Sir. 27:4-7
