During my life, I have often had to eat my own words, and on the whole I have found them a wholesome diet

We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out

I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.

By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.

In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.

Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.
