| Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles. (Prov. 21:23) |
| By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. (Prov. 25:15) |
| A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright. (Prov. 15:1‑2) |
A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or a tear,
Has often healed the heart that’s broken!
And made a friend sincere. |
Then deem it not an idle thing,
A pleasant word to speak;
The face you wear, the thoughts you bring,
A heart may heal or break. |
