Spells and bewitchment are heretical teachings. Do not mention something that is not true. It is not your place to talk about others' family matters. Needless to defend yourself when in a wrong position. Never say anything that may cause harm to people. Never spread unwholesome and detrimental news. It is better not to discuss mere hearsay. There is nothing to say about relationships. Never bring up anything that is not true. Hold back sharing your moments of embarrassment. Be sure to clarify your misunderstandings. Neighborhood rumors are just gossip. Think thrice before you speak out of anger. Mistakes are always being mentioned. Apologies should be said in person. Never speak again of past disputes. There is no need to mention what may dampen moods. Give your advice only according to circumstances. It does not hurt to mention past experiences.

There is no need to mention what is already in the past. Speak concisely in moments of urgency. Speak deliberately about important matters. It is important to understand clearly what you are about to say. Refrain from talking about other people's matters. Discuss tedious matters in person. Do not disclose your plans. Negotiation is done best face to face. Never boast about what is not yet finished. Sense the atmosphere before you share good news. Needless to announce what is already known to the public. Praises should be said often. Always make kind deeds known. Talk openly about what is for the greater good. Publish and speak about good inspirations. Spread good news far and wide. Be honest about the promises you have made. Never speak empty words of promise. Leave talks about tomorrow for tomorrow.
