An entire bible page dedicated to the tongue. Anyone read it, or try and follow it?

Taming the Tongue
Jas 3:1* My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.*
Jas 3:2* For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.*
Jas 3:3* Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.*
Jas 3:4* Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.*
Jas 3:5* Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!*
Jas 3:6* And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.*
Jas 3:7* For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:*
Jas 3:8* But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.*
Jas 3:9* Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.*
Jas 3:10* Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.*
Jas 3:11* Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?*
Jas 3:12* Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.*

When I was quite young, my father taught me 'if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all'.
Has served me well my whole life!
