Little Agencies Destructive
Matthew 12:36
But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.


Idle words are deemed of little consequence. There are more deaths occasioned by unperceived irregularities of diet, than by open and apparent surfeits. If venial sins be less in quality, they are more in quantity; and their multitude makes them equal to the other's magnitude. The aggregation of atoms made at first the world's huge mass; and the aggregation of drops did drown it, when it was made.

(O. Feltham.)
