(Bhagavad Gita 17:15)

Speak without malice or hatred or envy; speak the truth; speak to comfort, to console, to transmit joy. (SSS Vol.2, p. 183)

You must speak soft and sweet words to everyone. (SSS Vol.7, p. 183)

Keep a strict watch over what you say. If the foot slips, you may suffer from a fall and sustain a temporary injury. But a slip of the tongue may cause lasting harm. Never go about criticising others. When you point to the mote in another s eye, you are forgetting the beam in your own eye. With plenty of faults in yourself, you have no right to point out the faults in others. It is a grievous sin to indulge in fault-finding. He alone is wise who is conscious of his defects. The one who is looking out for faults in others will acquire those faults himself by a process of reflex action. (SSS Vol.22)

I advise through another slogan also: ‘Even if you cannot oblige, you can at least speak obligingly.’ This means that you have to cleanse your speech of cynicism and satire and be ever sincere and sweet. (SSS Vol.14)

Speak so that your language is as sweet as your feelings are. Make the words true and pleasing. Satyam bruyat priyam bruyat. For the sake of pleasing another, do not speak falsehood or exaggerate. Cynicism, which leads you to speak about a thing in a carping manner and in order to bring it into disrepute, is as bad as flattery, which makes you exaggerate and cross the boundaries of truth. (SSS Vol.4, p. 41)
