Strive always to speak the truth, but temper your words with kindness. 🙏

We often think truth must be hard-edged — something we must deliver, even when it wounds. But truth is not a weapon. It’s a light. And kindness is the soft cloth that filters it gently.

This aphorism invites us to speak honestly, without hiding or twisting, but to do so in a way that honors the heart of the other. Kindness doesn’t dilute truth — it gives it roots.

In a world full of quick takes and sharp opinions, may we practice truth with gentleness. May our speech carry both clarity and care.

🙏🕊🙏
