This will save him from anger.

" With this, he will be saved from anger..."Everyone knows that anger is an awful and evil behavior. Still ,it is very hard for a person to keep away from it, because everytime something makes us sad or upset - our immediate reaction is to get angry.
The Ramban is giving us a wonderful piece of advice. If you want it be saved from getting angry - SPEAK SOFTLY ! This will quiet a person's natural anger.

King Shlomo writes in Mishlei:
"A soft answer turns away wrath." Wrath" is a very strong, inner, anger. A soft answer can even calm down this inner anger. Someone who gets used to speaking gently, is rewarded , that Hashem will save him from giving in to anger.
