“A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding.”
“In my Lifetime, I hope to develop, Arms that are strong, Hands that are gentle, Ears that will listen, Eyes that are kind, A tongue that will speak softly, A mind full of wisdom, A heart that understands.”
“A flapping tongue puts out the light of wisdom."~Polly Shine”
“Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
