There are men who pride themselves on their straightforwardness and it deteriorates into brutality.
One such man said to John Wesley once: "Mr. Wesley, I
pride myself in speaking my mind; that is my talent."
"Well," said John Wesley, "the Lord wouldn't
mind if you buried that!"

Mat 12:36-37 (GNT):
“You can be sure that on the Judgment Day you will have to give account
of every useless word you have ever spoken.
Your words will be used to judge you - to declare you either innocent or
guilty.”
"Give not thy tongue too great liberty, lest it take thee
prisoner." - Francis Quarles.
