What you keep by you, you may change and mend but words, once spoken, can never be recalled.

Wentworth Dillon, 4th Earl of Roscommon

Words spoken cannot be recalled, and many a man and many a woman who has spoken a word at once regretted, are far too proud to express that regret.

Anthony Trollope

Thought is an Idea in transit, which when once released, never can be lured back, nor the spoken word recalled.

Pythagoras

Words spoken can not be recalled so think twice before you speak.

William Shakespeare

Sometimes we don't need words. Rather, it's words that need us. If we were no longer here, words would lose their whole function. They would end up as words that are never spoken, and words that aren't spoken are no longer words. - (Where I'm Likely To Find It)

Haruki Murakami

As I stood alone and forsaken, and the power of the sea and the battle of the elements reminded me of my own nothingness, and on the other hand, the sure flight of the birds recalled the words spoken by Christ: Not a sparrow shall fall on the ground without your Father: then, all at once, I felt how great and how small I was; then did those two mighty forces, pride and humility, happily unite in friendship.

Soren Kierkegaard

It amazes me, how many words there are spoken, how many thoughts...yet each speaks freshly to me each time as if they were never once spoken before.

Stefanie Schneider

I have never spoken to Eminem. I've never even spoken to him once.

Bebe Rexha

A word once uttered can never be recalled.

Horace

Many wise words are spoken in jest, but they don't compare with the number of stupid words spoken in earnest.

Sam Levenson

Words that are not spoken are much more powerful than words that are spoken in unbelief.

Charles Capps

Only speak words that make souls stronger -\-\ for once words are spoken, they may be forgiven, but may be not forgotten.

Ann Voskamp

Oh, he was just angry, we tell ourselves when someone blurts out something he later apologizes for. But a word, once spoken, lingers forever; to keep peace we pretend to forget, but we never do. Strange that a spoken word can have such lasting power when words carved on stone monuments vanish in spite of all our efforts to preserve them. What we would lose persists, lodged in our minds, and what we would keep is lost to water, moths, moss.

Margaret George

...the problem with words is that once spoken, they cannot find their way back to the speaker alone.

Arturo Pérez-Reverte

Chastity, once lost, cannot be recalled; it goes only once.

Ovid

Words. I'm surrounding by thousands of words. Maybe millions...Deep within me, words pile up in huge drifts. Mountains of phrases and sentences and connected ideas. Clever expressions. Jokes. Love songs...I have never spoken one single word. I am almost eleven years old.
