To Speak or Not to Speak

Syrian native Publilius Syrus, the 1st century B.C. writer of maxims, was brought as a slave to Italy. Fortunately, his wit and talent won the favor of his master, who freed and educated him.

His famous quote, "Speech is a mirror of the soul: as a man speaks, so is he", resonates dearly in my heart. His talent and unwavering conviction enabled him to express what many were probably thinking, but were afraid to verbalize. Using wit, his thought provoking maxims were embraced and accepted.

Like Syrus, always speak from the heart with conviction, without fear and use wit to engage others with thought provoking statements.

    Thanks Bonnie, that's great food for thought. I've been trying to slow down in general, and speech is another avenue I'll try to master.
