Words well spoken are pleasant and gracious. They refresh the soul, increase persuasiveness, and make important men our friends. They are even good for our health. As every health professional knows, soft, gentle words have remarkable healing power. But we all learn early in life that words can hurt.
Harsh words arouse anger.
Good words are true words, honest and faithful. They bring welcome relief, and they endure. Like the coolness of snow in the heat of the harvest is a faithful messenger for the one who sends him. Good words enlighten, build up, encourage, comfort, and heal. The Misuse of Language Words, like all powerful things, should be used with caution and great care.
