I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it.

I've never felt that using something with tongue in cheek has been a bad thing.

When we, as humans, articulate, our tongues tend to hit the back of the teeth.

Why does the lizard stick his tongue out? The lizard sticks its tongue out because that's the way its listening and looking and tasting its environment. It's its means of appreciating what's in front of it.

If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest.

There is probably no oral society that fails to mark the spatial distinction of left and right, peculiar as this distinction may be.

I have my father's lopsided mouth. When I smile, my lips slope to one side. My doctor sister calls it my cerebral palsy mouth. I am very much a daddy's girl, and even though I would rather my smile wasn't crooked, there is something moving for me about having a mouth exactly like my father's.

There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.
