Bernard saith: Lingua facile volat, & ideo facile violate. The tongue runs quickly, therefore wrongs quickly. Speedy is the pace it goes, and therefore speedy is the mischief it does. When all other members are dull with age, the tongue alone is quick and nimble. It is an unruly evil to our selves, to our neighbours, to the whole world.
