"Never accept words meant to hurt. Turn them back because they are the responsibility of the speaker. When you are caught off guard, hold the emotions in silence for a moment and tell them to be still. It takes longer to forget than it does to forgive - and time heals when we give it the power."
-Joyce Sequichie Hifler
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
-Mother Teresa
"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime."
-Dale Carnegie
"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."
-Rudyard Kipling
"Speaking your mind is an awfully dangerous thing to do. Choose your words carefully."
-Rick Beneteau
every. single. one. of these quotes. explain how I feel.
there's moments, when people I expect not to care,
and people I don't even know/talk to on a daily basis,
say things that change my day. make my day better.
when that day was terrible previously.
I owe my life to those people.
It's funny how the people who make your day better, are people who you never expected to care.
_____________________________________________
but then, there's the other side.
painful words.
Words are powerful. I know they might be joking, they might be kidding.
and I'm okay with that. I can deal with that. I laugh about it, shove it off.
or, attempt to.
but what hurts the most is,
when you start to believe those words.
words are powerful.
