154 - Heart and Tongue

A person asked, "Who are the two gods who glorify and adorn human life?"

"Heart and tongue," was the response.

"Who are the two devils who bring ruin," was the next question.

"Heart and tongue," was the response.

"A cruel heart makes a man sinful and a simple and generous heart makes a person great. A man who does not exercise control over his tongue loses his health and cooperation from others. With only sweet and suitable speech can we get love, respect and acceptance from others."
