Save your skin from the corrosive acids from the mouths of toxic people. Someone who just helped you to speak evil about another person can later help another person to speak evil about you. ↗

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. ↗
