You are the owner of what you keep in silence, and the slave of what you speak.

I think I saw that first in your forum, and loved it ever since -- it's very wise!!!

Ya know, I think it goes a bit deeper than that even, too.
You can be a slave to, not just what you speak, but also to that which  you don't speak.
How bout the feelings, thoughts you harbour but keep inside, denying their existence?

It's easy to become a slave to them as well, I think.
