Kind words produce their own image in men’s souls; and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.
— Blaise Pascal
Charis: Subject to Change 
“Kind words produce their own image in men’s souls” – what a beautiful truth!

Have you noticed the difference between children or employees who are corrected with kind words, and those that are shamed into changing?
