Thursday 6th September – Thought For Today

Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us; but simplicity and straight forwardness are. Write much as you would speak; speak as you think. If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual; if with your superiors, no finer. Be what you say; and, within the rules of prudence, say what you are.

    “Be what you say, say what you are”-wise, wise words indeed! ;)
