A resident of a health care facility in which I work shared with me the following anonymous quotations, which she found in a recent church bulletin.
”Be careful of your tongue, it’s in a wet place and liable to slip.”
“There is no indigestion worse than that which comes from having to eat your own words.”
“The problem with talking too fast is you may say something you haven’t thought of yet.”
I thought those quotes were all excellent. I thought of another.
“. . . the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!” - - - James 3:5, The Bible
The recent dramatic damage caused in the California forests by small sparks illustrate the power of something so seemingly innocuous an instrument as the match is very illustrative of the damage a small tongue can do.
