Harmonious Speechြspan class="style19">Yutang Lin
Sharp and extreme expressions tend to polarize situations;
Powerful oppression could provoke conflicts and frictions.
Plain words and harmonious speeches carried thorns none;
In acting like a dumb lies the wisdom of avoiding incidents.
Comment:
Expressions used gone extreme; thorny to all sides. Animosity frequently incurred; hindrances unnoticeably grown in abundance. Energy and strength should be well treasured and preserved; incidents could be avoided to have risen lightly. Harmonious speech constantly employs plain words; through patience and tolerance all may share peace and quietude.
