Gossip Quotes Quotes

“Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment. An honest woman can sell tangerines all day and remain a good person until she dies, but there will always be naysayers who will try to convince you otherwise. Perhaps this woman did not give them something for free, or at a discount. Perhaps too, that she refused to stand with them when they were wrong — or just stood up for something she felt was right. And also, it could be that some bitter women are envious of her, or that she rejected the advances of some very proud men. Always trust your heart. If the Creator stood before a million men with the light of a million lamps, only a few would truly see him because truth is already alive in their hearts. Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them. He who does not have Truth in his heart, will always be blind to her.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“The Bible strongly warns against gossip, emphasizing the damage it causes to relationships and the importance of speaking truth in love. Instead of talking about someone behind their back, we are called to address issues directly and privately, with the goal of restoration. Gossip breaks trust and spreads strife, and listening to it can be just as harmful as speaking it. Scripture commands us not to slander others and to use our words to build up, not tear down. As Christians, we should strive to avoid gossip and instead speak in ways that give grace to those who hear. By choosing our words carefully, we can reflect God's love and promote healing and unity in our relationships.”
