Best Quotes about Gossip
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

The idea of strictly minding our own business is moldy rubbish. Who could be so selfish?
Barker, Myrtle

Mcginley, Phyllis
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
Bertrand Russell
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.

Dworkin, Andrea
Men have always detested women's gossip because they suspect the truth: their measurements are being taken and compared.
Jong, Erica
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
At every word a reputation dies.
Pope, Alexander
Gossip is nature's telephone.
Aleichem, Sholom
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
Your friend has a friend; don't tell him.
Proverb, Chinese
Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.
Conrad, Joseph
To harken to evil conversation is the road to wickedness.. (Pravis Assuescere Sermonibus Est Via Ad Rem Ipsam)
An expert gossiper knows how much to leave out of a conversation.
My ass contemplates those who talk behind my back.
Picabia, Francis
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
Sight before hearsay.
Proverb, Danish

Smith, Logan Pearsall
Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
Fielding, Henry
No sword bites so fiercly as an evil tongue.
Sir Philip Sidney
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
If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.

With well doing you may put to silence foolish men.
Bible
