Slow-flowing water runs deep ; one who is cautious in words is noble. We need two years to learn to speak but ten years to learn to be discreet in what we say. To learn to be discreet in speech is the beginning of spiritual practice.
水深则流缓，语迟则人贵。
花两年时间学说话，
花十年功夫才能学会谨言。
学会谨言就是修心的开始。
– Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
