Before you speak,  
let your words pass through 
three gates.

Is it true?
 
Is it kind?
 
Is it necessary?

When I found this wonderful quote, I immediately thought of all the photos I've taken of gates, so I matched the quote with three of my favorite gates to create the collage.


The beautiful ornate iron green gate 
is part of a fence at a historical home in Carthage, Missouri.

 The next time you see a gate, remember...

Before you speak,  
let your words pass through 
three gates.

Is it true?
 
Is it kind?
 
Is it necessary
