A gentle answer turns away wrath - Proverbs 15:1

Proverbs 15: "1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

I have always thought this was amazing advice. As with much great advice, this little tip is easier said than done. The truth of this statement and consistency of its effectiveness is amazing to me.

Can you think of a time when a soft answer worked effectively?

Can you think of a time when a harsh word was not productive?
