THE SOFT WORD |
|
|
The gift that is thrown at the distressed without these accompaniments
does not really relieve suffering but hurts. One need not fear poverty if he has gladdened
the hearts of men by kind words: The world will not leave such a man to suffer by reason
of adversity.
Not jewels but courteous deportment and gentleness of speech are the
things that adorn: Truly it is strange that people speak harsh words, when they have
themselves felt and experienced the joy that kindly speech begets. |
