There is a PRIMARY Syllogism with regard to 'Right Speech' -- it is this : "If a man's speech is not better than Silence [then] he should remain quiet."
My Generation was raised hearing, "Children should be seen and NOT heard."
Another : "If you haven't got anything GOOD to say, then DON'T say anything" .
My 6th Grade Teacher, Mr. Lyons, taught us boys this : "If you are interested in a girl--DON'T SAY ANYTHING !!! " I am here to tell you, I "took to Heart" his 'advice' and when I got to College employed this Advice as TACTIC with absolutely STUPENDOUS Success . Now, "I ain't that good-looking" and I "take tea at three" --- it didn't matter . My Lyons' words were Sorcery MAGIC .
