Speak


Speak, but only if you have words to say.

Speak, but only if you have a message you want others to hear.

Speak, but only if you know what's right.

Speak, if you know what's wrong.

Speak, but don't just talk.

Speak, but let your words do the talking.

Speak, let your words be a ripple.

Speak, but don't let your words be a tragedy.

 

Speak, let yourself have the best words, but don't let your words have the best of you.
