I would have to add the death of Jerome I. Rodale during his appearance on the Dick Cavett Show. He'd just finished an interview in which he extolled the virtues of organic foods and exercise, and announced that "I’ve decided to live to be a hundred" and "I never felt better in my life!"

Doesn’t Wittgenstein’s Tractatus propose that language shapes thought? I cannot think what I cannot say?

His point was that the physical world has a logical structure that our thought and language should reflect. That we should recognize the limits of logic, and not overstep those bounds.

I've always been fond of Wittgenstein's "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." Loosely interpreted, it's good advice even in non-philosophical contexts.
