I love this quote. It reminds me of something I read once about going through 4 gates before you say something that may hurt someone. I forget what the gates were, of course! Another thing I heard that I do like to put into practice is to think about your intention before saying something. You'd be surprised at how many times you end up saying nothing. It really helps.
oh yes... the secret of diplomacy :)
