I have never united myself to any church because I found difficulty in giving my assent without mental reservation to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which characterize the articles of belief and the usual confession of faith.
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged.
I'm very careful not to have ideas, because they're inaccurate.
I have sworn with my tongue, but my mind is unsworn. [Lat., Juravi lingua, mentem injuratem gero.]
It scares me to speak my mind, it might sound self-absorbed, I don't say half of what I think, I wonder what I'm thinking for
Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out.
I mean, that was a throwaway thought, because my focus was - my intent and my focus was to never go public.
We must keep our thought secret, and judge everything by it, while talking like the people.
People are usually afraid to say what's on their mind.
Women always have some mental reservation.
