"Let thy words be few"

Surely this is a KJV line that no blogger has ever followed!

It comes from Ecclesiastes 5:2 and was a favorite phrase of George Fox (1624-1691), founder of the Quaker movement in England and later, in America. He quoted it often, using it to buttress Quaker ideas of silence, holy listening, and just plain shutting up.

We could all use a bit of "Let thy words be few" today.
