A word of kindness is seldom spoken in vain, while witty sayings are as easily lost as the pearls slipping from a broken string.

A word of kindness is seldom spoken in vain, while witty sayings are as easily lost as the pearls slipping from a broken string.

善意的话语很少是徒劳的，而机智的话语就像从断了的绳子上滑落的珍珠一样容易丢失。
