Sometimes the best thing is to say nothing at all. Arguing with a fool only proves that there are two.
When someone resorts to insults the conversation is over because one person has quit listening and is just trying to exert control through insults and direct personal attacks on the other. It is best to walk away and leave the conversation for a later date. Think about what was said, figure out what the ‘tipping’ point was. (It is usually a hurt/fear on the other person’s part) ~ Natalie Drummond
People who act superior by insulting or putting people down are really just showing their signs of really feeling inferior. ~ Denise Hecht
Insulting people will not make you feel better. We are all imperfect and make mistakes. We wouldn’t want to be insulted for our mistakes. Build people up regardless & it will help both of you to feel so much better. ~ Gloria Peta
One time someone was insulting me with words at a church gathering of all places. God put his hand over my mouth and I just looked at her. She walked away very puzzled, so did I, because personally I knew enough of my own words to destroy her. God had better plans, today I am a better person for it. ~ Donna Austin
