What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Ye only set in order speeches to upbraid, and ye speak words against the wind. There are two sorts of speech, which are very troublesome and mischievous to mankind, the one which aims to commend even froward things, the other which studies to be always carping even at right ones. The one is carried downward with the stream, the other sets itself to close the very channels and streams of truth. Fear keeps down the one, pride sets up the other. …
Thomas Aquinas
"You join fine words together," since you carefully compose them so that your words may not seem lightly spoken. The third is when someone strengthens the arguments he uses against someone else with efficacious reasons. He excludes this saying, "You cast your words to the wind," as if to say: Your words are empty for they do not have the support of reason.
