“I wish that all those, who on this night are not merry enough to speak before they think, may ever after be grave enough to think before they speak!”
“And so the merry party began. It was one of those jolly, happy, bread-crumbling parties where you cough twice before you speak, and then decide not to say it after all.”
“we all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. We respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.”
“Think before you speak. Read before you think.”
“I don't think before I speak. I just say.”
“Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.”
