Kind truths: honesty with a gentle voice, sentence 12
You don't have to repeat every hurt you know: "Whoever would foster love covers over an offence, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends" (Proverbs 17:9); but don't say "no" if it's false.
Who acts: You, Whoever, no · What happens: not have, repeat, know, foster, cover, separate · To what, where: hurt, love, offence, matter, close friends, no · Speech: someone speaks here
