Guard the gate of the lips, and the days turn toward you.

R. Alexandri called out like a peddler, 'Who wants life?' and when all came, answered with Psalm 34: 'Guard your tongue from evil' (Avodah Zarah 19b). De Vidas brings his teacher's reading: one who guards his speech is 'a lover of days' — his days become his lovers, not his accusers. With the Zohar (Shemini 41a) he explains the days as supernal lights drawn down to repair the soul. Whoever guards his mouth clings to true life.
