Soft of eye, light of touch Speak little, listen much.
I believe this simply means we need to speak softly, be observant, and listen to others. We learn more that way. ~ Luna
To me that says don't look and judge and act harsh with someone beacuse of how you view them you really don't know a person by just how they look. The second line kinda speaks for itself...listen to what's going on around you before opening your mouth to spout your thoughts. You might miss something and be completely off from what is needed to be said ~ Serpent Song
Soft of eye, light of touch: to me means to look upon and to speak to others kindly. Speak little, listen much: you learn much more with your mouth closed and ears open than you do the other way around. ~ Lyllyth Morgain
