“¿Do you think before speaking or do you speak after thinking?”

“My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.
'Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.
'What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
'I never know what you are thinking. Think.”

“Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.”

“Students, when you want to say something, think about it three times before you say it. Speak only if your words will benefit yourselves and others. Do not speak if it brings no benefit.”

“Think twice before you speak to a friend in need”

“Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.”

“Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.”

“Think before you speak. Read before you think. This will give you something to think about that you didn't make up yourself - a wise move at any age, but most especially at seventeen, when you are in the greatest danger of coming to annoying conclusions.”

“I know you'll think this is crazy, but all I want to do is hold you, and I think that if you'll let me do that just for a few seconds, I can walk away, and never speak to you again.”

“I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness.”
