The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings.
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tries, and a touch that never hurts. - Charles Dickens

Reckless predictions of the second coming of Christ create an artificial excitement among believers followed by a corresponding depression. In addition, it hardens skeptics in their unbelief and provides new fodder for cynics to mock the Christian faith. - Doug Batchelor
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts. - Charles Dickens
