Words Words are littl things, but they strike very hard sometimes. We wield them so easily that we are apt to forget their hidden power. When spoken aright they fall like the sun, the dew, and the fertilizing rain. How [deleted]often[/deleted] sharp and swift they often fly and how tremendous is their power for good or evil for joy or sorrow. There are words which will prove a balm to the sad hurt and there are those which will crush the young, and joyful hopes of the bravest heart, and there are those that will cheer and inspire the soul and which will renew the courage of those ready to perish and will send the thrill of life and hope even through the cold bosom of despair
