 so don't tell

anyone

"you cannot stop people's tongues,

and therefore

the best thing to do

is to stop your own ears

and never mind

what is spoken."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Communication ~

the most important things

are the hardest

to say

because words diminish them

Stephen King

 kind words can be short and easy to speak

but their echoes are truly endless

Mother Teresa

pleasant words are as a honeycomb

sweet to the mind

and healing to the body

Proverbs 16:4

 

to listen well

is as powerful

a means of communication

and

influence

as to talk well

John Marshall

Calvin:  Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts.

  I wonder why we think faster than we speak.
Hobbes:  Probably so we can think twice.
Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes
