Chatterbox

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.  Khalil Gibran

Think about it...right?  
When I'm unsettled about something, processing something, trying to work something out I talk - in my head, to myself, out loud to others, out loud to myself *grin*, or I engage in any number of other forms of "talking" that exist. All the chattering indicates a lack of peace about *it*, a lack of resolution/solution/conclusion, an unease.  I do quit talking about *it* when I have come to a place of peace, acceptance, resolution/solution/conclusion.  
What about you?  Do you find today's quote to be accurate in your own life?

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
