“Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.”
― Max Ehrmann, Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life

“Gossip is never fatal until it is denied. Gossip goes on about every human being alive and about all the dead that are alive enough to be remembered, and yet almost never does any harm until some defender makes a controversy. Gossip's a nasty thing, but it's sickly, and if people of good intentions will let it entirely alone, it will die, ninety-nine times out of a hundred.”
― Booth Tarkington, The Magnificent Ambersons

“When you meet new people and you notice they gossip about people behind their backs just imagine what they say about you behind yours.”
― DivineConspiracy

“Gossip is just a tool to distract people who have nothing better to do from feeling jealous of those few of us still remaining with noble hearts.”
― Anna Godbersen, Splendor
