“You'll find truth in your looking glass, not on the tongues of men.”
“Men are born with two eyes but only one tongue in order that they should see twice as much as they say.”

“Being able to articulate the gospel with accuracy is one thing; having its truth captivate your soul is quite another.”
“Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”
