“A Slip of the Foot you may soon recover, But a Slip of the Tongue you may never get over.” [Benjamin Franklin: Poor Richard’s Almanack (1747)]

If you fall you can always just get right back up and try again. However if you say something you should not have, it will take much longer to recover from that.

Always be mindful about not only what you say, but how you say it. Your words are you choice, so choose wisely.
