If we wish to be loved, we must first give love. If we wish to be respected, we must respect all persons, even those we despise. If we wish to be fulfilled in our lives, we must share generously with others. Talk and Gossip Arrogant words inflame prejudice and hatred, but humble speech soothes. Words make or break human relationships.
Words can make war or make peace.
The words we say or write have tremendous power for good or evil. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. And I say to you, that every careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
