Mark your words, as a matter of caution when with rivals, and as a matter of decency, when with the rest. There is always time to add a word, but none in which to take one back: speak, therefore, as in a testament, for the fewer the words, the less the litigation: make of that which is of no importance the training ground for that which is: reserve has an aspect of divinity about it: he too easy of speech, shortly falters and falls.
- Baltasar Gracian
