Take a Page From the Courtesy Queen
When your first urge is to say something mean
Take a page from the courtesy queen
She has lots of friends, actually they never end.
Clamp down your mouth; do not whisper or shout.
Make no sound at all. Look for good, no matter how small.
For if you jump in and say something deliberately unkind.
The person will look at you differently.
You will become the jerk in their mind.
