Speak so that your language is as sweet as your feelings are...

Speak so that your language is
as sweet as your feelings are.

Make the words true and pleasing.
But, 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.
