GEMS OF THOUGHT
TALKING. Talk often, but never long; in that case, if you do not please, at least you are sure not to tire your hearers. — Lord Chesterfield. A constant governance of our speech, acording to duty and reason, is a high instance and a special argument of a thoroughly sincere and solid goodness. —lsaac Borrow. He that thinks he can never speak enough, may easily speak too much.— Quarles. A amount of time is consumed in talffing nothing, doing nothing, and indecision as to what one should do. — Mary Baker Eddy. Talking is like playing on the harp; there is as much in laying the hands on the strings to stop their vibration as in twanging them to bring out their music. —Oliver Wendell Holmes. Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. —George Augustus Sala.
