Proverbs 16:21-24

21The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

22Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it, but discipline is wasted on fools.

23From a wise mind comes wise speech; the words of the wise are persuasive.

24Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
