I just came up with a new proverb: Think before you talk. Someone had just made a comment from "The [Godfather's] scene in which Michael is giving brother Freddo a warning rebuke never again to side with anyone against his family. Freddo's failure to heed this advice cost him his life in Godfather II. Freddo kept making a fool out of himself. He failed to think before he opened up his mouth. I can look back and see that I've spoken foolishly in some occasions by not editing my speech before I opened up my mouth. Hence my new proverb: Think before you talk.
