Power of the Tongue

Just a Little Kindness

In this world of hurry, and work, and sudden end, If a thought comes quick of doing kindness to a friend,
Do it that very minute; don’t put it off, don’t wait; What’s the use of doing a kindness if you do it a day too late?

Without Price

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

—Og Mandino (1923–1996)

Loving Presentation

Actually, the words we say are not always as important as how we say them.  But people can overlook our being frank if they see that we sincerely care about them.

There are many sides to gossip, but of this you can be sure—all sides of gossip are bad.

Someone described a wise man as saying, “You are lord of your tongue, but I am also master of my ears.” Be wise! Refuse to listen to gossip.
