Choose your words carefully

A person who says what he likes usually ends up hearing what he doesn't like. Be tactful. Tact consists of choosing one's words carefully and knowing how far to go. It also means knowing what to say and what to leave unsaid. Talent without tact may not always be desirable. Words reflect attitude. Words can hurt feelings and destroy relationships. More people hace been hurt by an improper choice of words than by any natural disaster. Chooose what you say rather than say what you choose. That is the difference between wisdom and foolishness.

Excessive talking does not mean communication.

Talk less; say more.

A fool speaks without thinking; a wise man thinks before speaking.

Words spoken out of bitterness can cause irreparable damage. the way parents speak to their children in many instances shapes their children's destiny.
