For in many things we all offend; if one offends not in word he is a perfect man, able to keep in subjection also the whole body. But we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, and direct their whole body; behold also the ships, though of so great size and driven by powerful winds, are directed by a very small helm wherever the will of the pilot chooses; read more.
so also the tongue is a small member and boasts of great things. Behold, how much wood a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, the tongue is made a world of wickedness among our members, it defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of nature and is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race, but the tongue can no man tame; it is a disorderly evil, full of a deadly poison.

For in many things we all offend; if one offends not in word he is a perfect man, able to keep in subjection also the whole body. But we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, and direct their whole body; read more.
