A truthful tongue is the mind’s clearest mirror.

–John Wycliffe (c. 1330–1384)

Source: John Wycliffe, Of the Seven Deadly Sins, in Select English Works of John Wyclif, ed. Thomas Arnold (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1869), 1:52.


Reflection: How does my speech today serve or obscure the inner truthfulness that Wycliffe calls “the mind’s clearest mirror”?
