Listen a hundred times; ponder a thousand times; speak once.” Turkish Proverb

  1. ...and it will all be too bloody late to do anything after the pondering 1000 times....

    My proverb - speak, act, move and only ponder about stuff if you get caught

  2. I think we should start a collection of AJ proverbs to go with her dictionary.

  3. Speechless. I'm pondering that one and holding my tongue but I sure like your style, Anny.

  4. Or as Mark Twain put it:

    "Better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

    I've probably misquoted, but the sense is the same.

  5. I'm learning to ponder more and speak less. Maybe it'll stick one of these days. Love the quote.
