Trying to squash a rumor is like trying to un-ring a bell.
What man ever openly apologizes for slander? It is not so much a feeling of slander as it is that of a massive lie, a misdeed not only to the slandered but also to those manipulated in the process. He has made them all, every one, his enemies, thereupon he is so overwhelmed with guilt that he will deny it until his grave.

Gossip Quotes Bible
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
The Bible refers to negative comments or stories regarding other people as “evil reports.” This may seem like a strong term, but a careful search through the Scriptures shows that our gossip and truth-stretching is much more than idle chatter. This type of speech carries with it far-reaching ramifications that affect not only the life of the speaker but the life of the listener.

The acceptable year of the Lord is any year when men will stop throwing away the precious lives that God has given them in riotous living.
