A good man draws what is good from the store of goodness in his heart; a bad man draws what is bad from the store of badness. For a man’s words flow out of what fills his heart.
Lk.6:45
Jesus gives advice on how to discern a man's character. Look at his fruit.
To see what a man is really like in his heart I only need to listen to him. More importantly, what is really in my heart is revealed to all by my words.
Mental note to self: Think before I speak.
Lord, place a guard at my mouth and a sentry on my lips.
