Joseph Smith said: "A wise man keeps a still tongue . . . It is far better, many times
. . . to forget all [you] know, than to tell all [you] know. And better still to forget than to tell some great things which [you] do not know" (HC 7:413).


President Gordon B. Hinckley said: "All of us have far too much to do to waste our time and energies in criticism, faultfinding, or the abuse of others" (Ensign, Nov. 1981, p. 6)


President James E. Faust said: "Some want to justify their criticism by claiming, ‘But it is the truth.' My answer is, ‘How can you be so sure?' The Apostle Paul reminded us that the misuse of the truth changes it into a lie. (See Rom. 1:18-25)" (Ensign, Nov. 1985, p. 9).
