Gossip Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Gossip

1.
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
Bertrand Russell

2.

Mcginley, Phyllis

3.
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

4.

Dworkin, Andrea

5.
The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.
Shaw, George Bernard

6.
At every word a reputation dies.
Pope, Alexander

7.
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

8.
Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will.
Pythagoras

9.
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

10.
For prying into any human affairs, non are equal to those whom it does not concern.
Hugo, Victor

11.
A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.
Ouida

12.
And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.
Pope, Alexander

13.
Many species reciprocate, but only humans gossip, and much of what we gossip about is the vale of other people as partners for reciprocal relationships.
Jonathan Haidt

14.
She poured a little social sewage into his ears.
Meredith, George

15.
Conversation is three women stand on the corner talking. Gossip is when one of them leaves.
Shriner, Herb

16.
I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.
Parker, Dorothy

17.
Gossip is news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.
Smith, Liz

18.
My ass contemplates those who talk behind my back.
Picabia, Francis

Gossip is nature's telephone.
Aleichem, Sholom

23.
Remember, every time you open your mouth to talk, your mind walks out and parades up and down the words.
Stuart, Edwin H.

24.
What you don't see with your eyes, don't witness with your mouth.
Proverb, Jewish

25.
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

26.
A lie has no leg, but a scandal has wings.
Fuller, Thomas

27.
Young people do not perceive at once that the giver of wounds is the enemy and the quoted tattle merely the arrow.

28.
Gossip is when you hear something you like about someone, you don't.
Wilson, Earl

29.
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

30.
Where no wood is, the fire goes out; so where there is no tale bearer, the strife ceaseth.
Bible

31.
Have I inadvertently said some evil thing?
Phocion

32.

Horace

33.
Everyone realizes that one can believe little of what people say about each other. But it is not so widely realized that even less can one trust what people say about themselves.
West, Rebecca

34.
When of a gossiping circle it was asked, What are they doing? The answer was, Swapping lies.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

35.
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

36.

Scott, Paul
