Speak so that your language is as sweet as your feelings. Make the words, true and pleasing. (Sathyam Brooyath, Priyam Brooyath) But, for the art of pleasing another, do not speak falsehood or exaggerate. Cynicism, which leads you to speak about a thing in a carping manner and in order to bring it into disrepute is as bad as flattery which makes you exaggerate and cross the boundaries of truth.
-Divine Discourse, Vol 4, Ch 21, July 29, 1964.
