The logic and content of what is said is less important than the faith and love with which it is conveyed. The tone of voice shows whether the speaker wants to seem brilliant and knowledgeable, or whether he wants to nourish, to give freely and witness humbly to what has been given and freely received. The talks which nourish come from people who allow God to speak through their lips. (Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 174, L'Arche Canada | L'Arche Canada Foundation | Jean Vanier Online)
