A proverb says, 'Hard words break no bone'. It means that harsh and unkind words will not hurt us; it is the unkind deed that does the harm. Of course, a wordcannot break a bone as a blow can; but we can be hurt in other ways than in having our arms or legs or skulls broken. Unkind words can hurt our heart. And to hurt a person's heart, to wound his soul, to make him sad and unhappy, is often worse than breaking his head. Words have a lot of power and they can be used to help or to hurt, to wound or to cure, to bless or to curse. Unkind words can do a lot of harm and cause a great deal of sorrow while kind words can do a lot of good and cause a good deal of happiness.
