Watch Your Thoughts, They Become Words

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

This quote was presumably written by a man named Frank Outlaw, however the source has not been confirmed. Nevertheless, the quote is still good and makes one think carefully about our thoughts, words, and actions that contribute to our character and determine our destiny. A great deal of Christian wisdom is loaded in this quote.

As John Couretas observed when reading this quote: “Evocative, in a way, of patristic teaching on watchfulness.”
