267．言语温软，举止优雅

言语温软，举止优雅。利箭伤人身体，恶言伤人心灵。甜美的糕点香气扑鼻。懂得说好听的话是高超的生活艺术。你能用言语来为很多东西付账，还能凭言语无所不能。因此，我们要在言语上下功夫，高贵的谈吐可以产生勇气与力量。你要满嘴塞蜜，让你的言语特别甜美，甚至使你的敌人都喜欢。如想讨人喜欢，你就要和蔼可亲。

267．Silken words, sugared manners

Silken words, sugared manners. Arrows pierce the body, insults the soul. Sweet pastry perfumes the breath. It is a great art in life to know how to sell wind. Most things are paid for in words, and by them you can remove impossibilities. Thus we deal in air, and a royal breath can produce courage and power. Always have your mouth full of sugar to sweeten your words, so that even your enemies enjoy them. To please one must be peaceful.
