It was my tongue that swore; my heart is unsworn.

Euripides

The tongue never slips – remember this always. What goes on within the mind comes invariably on the tongue.

The world is not dialectical - it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.

Jean Baudrillard

This letter gives me a tongue; and were I not allowed to write, I should be dumb. [Lat., Praebet mihi littera linguam: Et, si non liceat scribere, mutus ero.]

Ovid

Ben Harper

Most English speakers do not have the writer's short fuse about seeing or hearing their language brutalized. This is the main reason, I suspect, that English is becoming the world's universal tongue: English-speaking natives don't care how badly others speak English as long as they speak it. French, once considered likely to become the world's lingua franca, has lost popularity because those who are born speaking it reject this liberal attitude and become depressed, insulted or insufferable when their language is ill used.

Russell Baker

I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

Thomas Jefferson

I have sworn upon the altar of God Eternal, hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

Thomas Jefferson

The mind alone can not be exiled. [Lat., Mens sola loco non exulat.]

Ovid

The love of fame usually spurs on the mind. [Lat., Ingenio stimulos subdere fama solet.]

Ovid

First off, we've had sworn testimony from soldiers and testimony before our staff that wasn't sworn, that said these alarms rarely went off, that they went off after the war in most cases and went off a lot.
