“The habit of silence is lead on the tongue.”
“A nervous silence loosens tongues”
“Silence, maiden; thy tongue outruns thy discretion.”
“The tongue may be an unruly member--But silence poisons the soul.”
“Our daily words and actions lead to decisions, our decisions create habits, and our habits create our future selves.”
“Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.”
