AVOID WORTHLESS TALK

He who indulges in purposeless talk causing disgust to his company earns universal contempt. This is intended to instill decorum of speech in company and points out the serious consequences of a seemingly venial fault.

Indulging in indecent talk in mixed company does greater mischief than even wrongs done to friends. You may hope for charity from friends whom you wrong, but you will earn the contempt of society by lack of restraint in general conversation.
