Develop the feeling of co-operation, of love and respect of each and every being. In order to promote harmony, the first rule you must follow is control of the tongue. Do not give all your thoughts immediate expression. Select, ponder and then speak out.  Speak softly, sweetly without malice in your heart. Speak as if you are addressing Sai who resides in everyone.  Use the tongue to recite the Name of the Lord. Use your feet to go on pure and holy errands, use your heart to keep pure thoughts and feelings.

- Sathya Sai Speaks,  Vol 5, Ch 15, Mar 26 1965. 

"Welcome problems and suffering, for they teach you the lessons of humility and reverence." - Baba
