The Quality of Words

At all times, in all seasons be cautious and slow as to how you speak.
Words can enlighten or demean, and words can manipulate or motivate and makes either strong or weak.
Say nothing that you in the future you may regret.
Quiet lips and an open mind are sometimes your best bet.

The wrong words can start a war and in turn, have resulted in the loss of many lives.
War extends from a word that tends to take husbands from their wives.
Be prudent about what you speak if peace is what you seek.
It Has been written that the earth shall be inherited by the meek.

Meekness is not related to weakness, but power under control.
Words of wisdom are from those for whom the bell shall toll.
Words are the pathway to manifesting your reality.
Words are a lamp to your feet that will boost your health and financial wealth, perpetually.
