   8. "One must live carefully. Every action produces its results. It is not good to use harsh words towards others or be responsible for their suffering."
TN297

   9. "Should anyone ever utter a thing that hurts another's feelings? An unpleasant truth, though true, must not be uttered. For that grows into a habit. By indulging in rude words one's nature becomes rude. One's sensitivity is lost if one has no control over one's speech. And once a man casts all consideration for others to the winds, he stops at nothing. The Master would say, 'If you have to ask a lame man how he became lame, then you have to speak thus: "How did your leg come to such a condition?" ' "
C367 & TN370

   10. "If one is without kindness, how can one be called a human being?"
N 128
