Dhammapada Verses 133 & 134: A Broken Gong

Verse 133 Speak not harshly to anyone, for those thus spoken to might retort. Indeed, angry speech hurts, and retaliation may overtake you.Verse 134 If, like a broken gong, you silence yourself, you have approached Nibbana, for vindictiveness is no longer in you.
