Don't Speak Too Soon I Robert Greene

so there's a story in in one of the

russian revolutions like the 1820s the

december's movement where there was a

rebellion against the tsar and they

failed and all the men were captured and

they were to be hanged and this one guy

was hanged and the rope broke

and then he said ha ha this proves how

incompetent the czar is you can't even

make rope that works and then the sar

heard this was reported back to me says

well if he wants if he thinks that i

can't make ropes they won't work i'm

going to hang him a second time and see

if it does work and then he had he got

hung again because he he spoke too soon

right if he just controls his mouth he

probably would have been pardoned

because when the rope breaks it's

usually seen as an act of god you

usually are pardoned but no he spoke and

then that ended up that was cost him his

life
