POWER OF THE TONGUE

The intelligent  person’s  tongue  is  behind  his  heart:  when  he wants  to  speak,  he  first  thinks.  If  his  words  will  be  in  his  favor, he  says  them,  and  if  they  will  be  against  him,  he  does  not  speak. And  the  ignorant  person’s  heart  is  behind  his  tongue:  when  he merely  thinks  of  saying  something,  he  says  it,  whether  it  is  for  or against  him. Think wise
