Sayings of Imam Ali (A.S.)
A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks first and then thinks.
A fool's mind is at the mercy of his tongue and a wise man's tongue is under the control of his mind.
To keep silent when you can say something wise and useful is as bad as keeping on propagating foolish and unwise thoughts.
