A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to rend, - sew, - keep silence, - speak - -

"Intestine broils

And factions rend a state: at length the breach

Is heal'd, and rest ensues. Wisdom restrains

The tongue, when words are vain: but now,

'Tis time to speak, and silence would be criminal."
