I am being a little tongue-in-cheek.

I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it.

I am told that our chroniclers' practice of inventing speeches for great persons whose lives they write is unscholarly.

Watch your mouth: The language we use creates the reality we experience.

I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it.

If we can't keep this tongue-in-cheek, it can get mean-spirited, and we don't want that.
