2. Though picking up no stones themselves, [murmurers] provoke others to do so.
3. While a murmurer insists on venting his own feelings, he regards any response thereto as hostile. They seldom take into account the bearing capacity of their audiences.
4. Murmurers have short memories. …Strange, isn’t it, brothers and sisters, how those with the shortest memories have the longest list of demands! However, with no remembrance of past blessings, there is no perspective about what is really going on.

6. Murmuring is contagious. …No one knows how to work a crowd better than the adversary.
7. Murmuring over the weight of our crosses not only takes energy otherwise needed to carry them but might cause another to put down his cross altogether.
