"Our first objective will be the development of self-restraint. This carries a top priority rating. When we speak or act hastily or rashly, the ability to be fair-minded and tolerant evaporates on the spot. One unkind tirade or one willful snap judgment can ruin our relation with another person for a whole day, or maybe a whole year. Nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen."
c. 1952 AAWS
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 91
Thought to Consider . . . The tongue must be heavy indeed, because so few people can hold it.
