The Power of Words

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”

“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”

“Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury.”

“Do not speak harshly to anyone; those who are spoken to will answer you in the same way. Harsh speech is painful; retaliation will touch you.”

“Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.”
