About This Quote

Language can be a powerful tool in the hands of a fool or a magician. It can help or hinder you in your life. You should always be careful about how you use language, because it can either build you up, or tear you down. For example, when a person uses profanity to curse his way through life, he is degrading himself and his surroundings.

This only serves to make him even more angry and frustrated. On the other hand, when a person uses words that are positive and uplifting, he brings peace and happiness to himself and others.
