Benevolent people love others, while courteous people respect others.
Literal translation:
Kind people love, polite people respect,
Kind words are warmer than cloth and silk, and hurtful words are deeper than spears and halberds.
Polite words make people feel warmer than cloth. Harsh language will do great harm to the other person's psychology, which is more serious than stabbing people with spears and halberds.
