Hi,
"Not everything that a person thinks should he produce with his lips. Thought flies on the wings of the wind, and due to the multiplicity of thoughts, all of them should pass like sheep before his intellectual assessment. That which the intellect decrees he should speak, this he should be certain to utter. But there are many matters in which he cannot produce that which his heart comprehends, for his inner comprehension cannot be clothed in words."
(Rabbi Yehonatan Eliasberg, Darchah shel Torah 10)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Everything you do is meaningful
Hi,
"Not even the smallest of your activities, your deed,
your word, even your thought, is without effect."
(R' Samson Raphael Hirsch, Horeb, Chapter 22)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Three Daily Sins
Hi,
"One is not saved from three sins daily: Thoughts of immorality, examination of prayer, and harmful speech.
"Do you really believe people commit harmful speech daily?! Rather: Speech which is close to being harmful."
(Talmud, Bava Batra 164a-b)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

The impact of thoughts
Hi,
"Every thought and desire, whether good or, Gd-forbid, bad, that passes through a person, does not pass without impact. One by one they gather and are established in the soul, and an edifice is built from them.
"Sometimes a bad trait, far worse than one's normal traits, arises in a person, Gd spare us, and he is shocked at himself. How did I enter such a lowly state?! But as we have said, thoughts and desires as thin as a hair took root in him. He did not know them or sense them, due to their intangibility, but inside him they thickened and gew, and then became visible and were revealed in the form of a repellent trait and ugly block, Gd forbid.
"The opposite is also true - every good thought and desire which rises within you, even if you do not achieve it, will thicken and grow and manifest itself in a holy trait or thought."
(R' Klonymus Kalman Schapiro, Bnei Machshavah Tovah, Seder Hadrachah uKlalim 5)
