About The Power of the Tongue
Proverbs teaches that a soft answer turns away wrath, and that words of wisdom are sweeter than honey to the soul. The tongue, small as it is, carries the weight of kindness or cruelty, a careless word can wound deeply, while a gentle reply can restore peace where anger has taken root. Ecclesiastes adds its quiet counsel: there is a time to speak and a time to hold one's silence, and knowing the difference is among the rarest gifts of wisdom.
