RE: silence/valor

I think it was William Penn who said something to the effect hat unless it will hurt someone more for something NOT to be said, keep it to yourself.

Hmmm, I'm trying to think of a way to tie this into gardening so we are on topic.  But I can't!  Sorry, Chris! ;-)

That's a good one!  I'm not Jewish, but a dear friend told me one of 
the Jewish Mitzvahs is *Not every truth needs to be spoken* - I try to 
instill that in my Hubby and children!
