Pope Clement's words hit the spot

Wise words, written a long time ago. Surely they apply perfectly to our world today.

Let us clothe ourselves in a mutual tolerance of one another's views, cultivating humanity and self-restraint, avoiding all gossiping and backbiting, and earning our justification by deeds and not by words. For it says, 'He who is full of words shall be answered in full measure. Does a man think himself righteous for his much speaking?'

A letter written by Pope St Clement I to the Corinthians. Clement was pope from 88 to 99.
