A great many people speak before they know what they want to say.
They often express the lack of an idea, rather than the idea.
God did not give us words to use idly; they are to powerful, and contain too many possibilities. A word may be a dagger, a bullet, a balm, a poison, a serpent, a mine of wealth, a dynamite bomb. It can build or blast a reputation.
Then what right have you to be playing with engines of power without understanding them?
Unless you learn to weigh well your words, you are as dangerous as would be a child entrusted with a throttle-valve of a mountain locomotive.
Taken from A Daily Message from Many Minds
By Thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 12:37
