151 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
151 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
151 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
151 A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.
151 A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
151 A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

(Read Proverbs 15:1)
A right cause will be better pleaded with meekness than with passion. Nothing stirs up anger like grievous words.
