The wisdom of James Fitzjames Stephen


"Originality does not consist in saying
          what no one has ever said before,
                        but in saying exactly what you think yourself."

English lawyer, judge, writer

Try this one: stop saying "Yeah, I agree with you,"  and say what you really think, in your own words.

You might be surprised, sometimes, to discover how hard it is to exactly express what you mean.

But I think most of the time you'll be delighted to speak your mind, and interested to hear what you have to say….
