for we are all liable to frequent mistakes. he that does not give too great a loose to his tongue, is an accomplish'd person and fit to moderate the whole church. you see how manageable horses are made by the application of a bit, which makes them take what motion we please. a ship too of the greatest burthen, tho' the wind bears hard, by means of an inconsiderable helm, veers about as the hand of the pilot directs her. read more.
so the tongue is but a small part of the body, yet how grand are its pretensions. a spark of fire! what quantities of timber will it blow into a flame? the tongue is a brand that sets the world in a combustion: it is but one of the numerous organs of the body, yet it can blast whole assemblies: tipp'd with infernal sulphur it sets the whole train of life in a blaze. creatures of every kind, beasts, birds, reptiles, and sea-monsters, are frequently tamed by human industry. but who could ever tame the tongue? arm'd with deadly poison, the mischief scorns restraint.

Speech/communication » Bridling your tongue
My brethren, don't affect many of you to be doctors, considering, that those of us who are such, shall be tried with the greater severity. for we are all liable to frequent mistakes. he that does not give too great a loose to his tongue, is an accomplish'd person and fit to moderate the whole church. you see how manageable horses are made by the application of a bit, which makes them take what motion we please. read more.
