A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. -KJV
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. -NIV
Proverbs 15
Indeed, we hold to the adage that the truth is the best course, but so often, the truth is barked in anger, intending to hurt someone; the same words, often with a different tact, have less of a hurtful result.
The truth, however hurtful, can be much less hurtful if spoken in love.
