STOP AND THINK – The speech of one who knows what he is talking about and means what he says—it is thought on fire. (William Jennings Bryan, former U.S. secretary of state and renowned orator)
Bryan was a political leader whose thoughts, indeed, were on fire. He knew what he was talking about, and no one doubted the sincerity of his words. In expressing your opinion, you need to have your facts straight, and you must live a life consistent with your words. Then, people will pay attention to what you’re saying.
Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect. (James 3:2)
