But now you must get rid of all these things: anger, passion, and hateful feelings. No insults or obscene talk must ever come from your lips. [Colossians 3:8 (GNT)]

Lord, guide us so that our words build, not break; honor, not demean; and bless, not curse. Let our words be those of compassion, not judgment; love, not scorn; and praise, not disparagement.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. [Mother Teresa]
