You tell a man a secret, and he’ll betray it for a drink of wine. Mind what you say.
Avoid backbiting and flattering; refrain from malice, and bragging.
A venomous tongue causes sorrow. When words are said, regret is too late.
Mind what you say.
Had men thought of this, many things done in England would never have been begun.
To speak aright observe six things:
1. what; 2. of whom; 3. where; 4. to whom; 5. why; 6. when.
In every place mind what you say.
Almighty God, grant me grace to serve Thee!
Mary, mother, send me grace night and day!
