About This Quote
Words have the power to move us. What we say to others and what we say about ourselves can often bring great meaning and joy. But, sometimes what we say is not the whole truth and it can be hurtful and untrue. We can use words as a powerful tool or we can use them as weapons.
If you want to build up others and make them feel good, use your words as a source of love and healing. And if you want to throw bombs, use your words as weapons of destruction.
