At the end of the day, review your conversation during the day, and ask yourself some pertinent questions about it. “Did I say exactly what I meant? Did I seek to create any false impressions? Did I color my language any for effect? Did I make any claim for myself, my knowledge, my skill, my actions, my intentions, my attitudes, my relations which went beyond the reality?” Examine yourself as relentlessly as if it were someone else you were examining. Repent of your failure [and give thanks to God for your successes]. Resolve, by the grace of Christ, not to fail in the same way tomorrow. On the morrow, “set a watch at the door of your lips.”

–Albert Edward Day, Discipline and Discovery
