Choose Your Words

Words are free. It’s how you use them, that may cost you. We know once the words are uttered, there is no way to recall them, no matter how sorry we are. They can be only forgiven, not forgotten. So, be careful with your words. It is better to bite your tongue and swallow the words, than trying to ask for forgiveness after that.

When you doubt between two words, choose the plainest, the commonest, the most idiomatic. - Julius Charles Hare

When you have spoken the word, it reigns over you. When it is unspoken you reign over it. - Arabian Proverb
