Have courage to be quiete!

My telephone rings. A friend from Sarajevo answers: "You know, I have been giving the motto in Croatian every morning for many years to a larger circle of interested people and often I get feedback. Today a friend called me who is having a hard time at work. She is being bullied. In the afternoon, a colleague had deliberately kicked her in the back of the knee to irritate her. At that moment, she remembered the motto: Have courage to be quiet! That gave her the impulse not to react in an inflammatory way. It really saved her in that moment!" Amazed at this reaction, we got into another short conversation. At the end, my counterpart said, "These words are really divine. Because what they trigger in individuals in different situations is so different. Only God can have that much imagination!"
