Best Quotes about Gossip
Sight before hearsay.
Proverb, Danish
When of a gossiping circle it was asked, What are they doing? The answer was, Swapping lies.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Gossip is when you hear something you like about someone, you don't.
Wilson, Earl
Men have always detested women's gossip because they suspect the truth: their measurements are being taken and compared.
Jong, Erica
Language is the apparel in which your thoughts parade before the public. Never clothe them in vulgar or shoddy attire.
Crane, George W.
A lie has no leg, but a scandal has wings.
Fuller, Thomas
There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us.
Adams, James Truslow
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
Bertrand Russell
A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.
Ouida
At every word a reputation dies.
Pope, Alexander
The objection of the scandalmonger is not that she tells of racy doings, but that she pretends to be indignant about them.
Mencken, H. L.
The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.
Shaw, George Bernard
So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.
Rogers, Will
My ass contemplates those who talk behind my back.
Picabia, Francis
While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.
Dworkin, Andrea
With well doing you may put to silence foolish men.
Bible
The idea of strictly minding our own business is moldy rubbish. Who could be so selfish?
Barker, Myrtle
Once you have listened to the gossip for some time, you will soon feel as if you know everyone, even if you have never met them.
Monica Fairview
Don't speak evil of someone if you don't know for certain, and if you do know ask yourself, why am I telling it?
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Avoid inquisitive persons, for they are sure to be gossips, their ears are open to hear, but they will not keep what is entrusted to them.
Horace
Never tell evil of a man, if you do not know it for certainty, and if you know it for a certainty, then ask yourself,'Why should I tell it?'
Johann K. Lavater
Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man s. It is in the boys gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.
Mcginley, Phyllis
A gossip is one who talks to you about others; a bore is one who talks to you about himself; and a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you about yourself.
Kirk, Lisa
Remember, every time you open your mouth to talk, your mind walks out and parades up and down the words.
Stuart, Edwin H.
And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.
Pope, Alexander
Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
Fielding, Henry
I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
Pascal, Blaise
Young people do not perceive at once that the giver of wounds is the enemy and the quoted tattle merely the arrow.
Gossip is news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.
Smith, Liz
Have I inadvertently said some evil thing?
Phocion
Gossip isn't scandal and it's not merely malicious. It's chatter about the human race by lovers of the same. Gossip is the tool of the poet, the shop-talk of the scientist, and the consolation of the housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual. It begins in the nursery and ends when speech is past.
Mcginley, Phyllis
Never trust the teller, trust the tale.
Lawrence, D. H.
Anyone who has obeyed nature by transmitting a piece of gossip experiences the explosive relief that accompanies the satisfying of a primary need.
Levi, Primo
Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker.
Eliot, George
The inspired scribbler always has the gift for gossip in our common usage he or she can always inspire the commonplace with an uncommon flavor, and transform trivialities by some original grace or sympathy or humor or affection.
Drew, Elizabeth
Show me someone who never gossips, and I will show you someone who is not interested in people.
Walters, Barbara
There is a lust in man no charm can tame: Of loudly publishing his neighbor's shame: On eagles wings immortal scandals fly, while virtuous actions are born and die.
Harvey, William
Where no wood is, the fire goes out; so where there is no tale bearer, the strife ceaseth.
Bible
No sword bites so fiercly as an evil tongue.
Sir Philip Sidney
May no portent of evil be attached to the words I say.
Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie.
Scott, Paul
Rumor grows as it goes.
Virgil
What you don't see with your eyes, don't witness with your mouth.
Proverb, Jewish
A malignant sore throat is a danger, a malignant throat not sore is worse.
Proverb, American
How awful to reflect that what people say of us is true!
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.
Conrad, Joseph
There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart; never to believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it to be true; and never to tell that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary, and that God is listening while you tell it.
Dyke, Henry Van
Rumor travels faster, but it don't stay put as long as truth.
Will Rogers
There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us, That it hardly behooves any of us To talk about the rest of us.
Edward Wallis Hoch
