Speak not harshly to anyone


One who talks sweet does not have an enemy and is blessed with plenty of wealth and good fortune.
Rig Veda
*
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
Dhammapada 133
*
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers
Bible
*
You must speak softly and sweetly and give everyone the respect and attention due to them sincerely. Humility and tolerance must characterise your behaviour as a devotee. When calm descends and the waters are still, the shadow of the Sun within the lake is one full image.
Sathya Sai Baba
*
Not the fastest horse can catch a word spoken in anger.
Chinese Proverb
*
One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
Josh Billings
