“He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.”
William Shakespeare
“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Have always been at daggers-drawing, / And one another clapper-clawing.”
Samuel Butler
“(Clapper) was dominating. Her second quarter was outstanding. She dominated inside, she was aggressive defensively, she got out in some passing lanes ... she wanted to prove tonight that she was the best player on the floor. I think she did that.”
Matt Schmelzer
“My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse.”
“We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less”
Diogenes
“Tea! thou soft, sober, sage and venerable liquid;- thou female tongue-running, smile-smoothing, heart-opening, wink-tippling cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate”
Colley Cibber
