  6. Conclusion Tongue Control Once a young man came to that great philosopher Socrates to be instructed in oratory. The moment the young man was introduced he began to talk, and there was an incessant stream for some time. When Socrates could get in a word, he said, "Young man, I will have to charge you a double fee." "A double fee, why is that?" The old sage replied, "I will have to teach you two lessons. First, how to hold your tongue, and then how to use it." What an art for all of us to learn, especially for Christians. A Tongue's Soliloquy I am your tongue! I am an important fellow. The Bible mentions me about 215 times (Pro.18:21; Pro.21:23, etc.). When I speak kind, thoughtful and true words, there is happiness; when I speak mean, untrue, angry or complaining words, there is trouble. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man – Col.4:5
