Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 February 1913 — Think Before You Speak. [ARTICLE]

Think Before You Speak.

If thou thihkest twice before thou speakest once thou wilt speak twice the better for it Better say nothing than not to the purpose. - And, to speak pertinently, consider both what is fit and when it is fit to speak. In all debates let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest; and endeavor to gain rather than to expose thy antagonist,—William Penn.
