If you’ve got nothing good to say best Shum Dumb

Before you judge or criticise someone…. Maybe a good idea to take a good look in the mirror and see how perfect you are first

I hate that this one is from the Bible but I still like it.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

No need to apologise for a 3rd "saying". No need to explain simply share without judgement.

My only hope of starting this thread was a very simple one that 1 or maybe more than 1 person will get inspiration for the year ahead from one on more of the sayings written. So a sincere thank you to all contributions which have relevance. HNY to all.
