The Lord of celestial wisdom saith: A harsh word is even as a sword thrust; a gentle word as milk. The latter leadeth the children of men unto knowledge and conferreth upon them true distinction.
— Bahá’u’lláh, Lawḥ-i-Mánikchí-Ṣáḥib, Tabernacle of Unity
The same tongue can wound or nourish. Distinction is given to the gentle word.
Which kind of word left your mouth last?
From the Bahá’í Writings.
