Motivational Quotes
Words
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Best Quotes about Words
An average English word is four letters and a half. By hard, honest labor I've dug all the large words out of my vocabulary and shaved it down till the average is three and a half... I never write metropolis for seven cents, because I can get the same money for city. I never write policeman, because I can get the same price for cop.... I never write valetudinarian at all, for not even hunger and wretchedness can humble me to the point where I will do a word like that for seven cents; I wouldn't do it for fifteen.
Twain, Mark
Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins.
Renard, Jules
I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.
Glasgow, Ellen
Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew, upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Byron, Lord
A wise man hears one word and understands two.
Proverb, Yiddish
The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.
Mohammed
Bu is a word that cools many a warm impulse, stifles many a kindly thought, puts a dead stop to many a brotherly deed. No one would ever love his neighbor as himself if he listened to all the Buts that could be said.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
The two most beautiful words in the English language are: Check Enclosed.
Parker, Dorothy
Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Horace
A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of the discussion.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Wright, Steven
The written word can be erased -- not so with the spoken word.
Every spoken word arouses our self-will.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
We are getting into semantics again. If we use words, there is a very grave danger they will be misinterpreted.
Haldeman, Harold Robbins
A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words... the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt.
Twain, Mark
The safest words are always those which bring us most directly to facts.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Card, Orson Scott
To be brief is almost a condition of being inspired.
Santayana, George
Each group of words is processed by the brain as a single thought. And because the words are viewed in context, you retain them more accurately than if you processed the words individually.
Saperstein, Rose
Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing.
Gladden, W.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.
Cather, Willa
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
Diller, Phyllis
One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called weasel words. When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a weasel word after another there is nothing left of the other.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will make me go in a corner and cry by myself for hours.
Idle, Eric
The supply of words in the world market is plentiful but the demand is falling. Let deeds follow words now.
Walesa, Lech
The closer the look one takes at a word, the greater distance from which it looks back.
Kraus, Karl
All words are part true and part false.
Kahn, Master
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
Woolf, Virginia
Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster.
Connolly, Cyril
No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.
Adams, Henry Brooks
There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them --isn't this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual?
Havel, Vaclav
The last thing a political party gives up is its vocabulary.
Tocqueville, Alexis De
A word from the mouth is like a stone from a sling.
Proverb, Spanish
Words represent your intellect. The sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.
Fripp, Patricia
As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.
Jordan, June
Words are not as satisfactory as we should like them to be, but, like our neighbors, we have got to live with them and must make the best and not the worst of them.
Butler, Samuel
Words will not fail when the matter is well considered.
Horace
Words are loaded pistols.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
A single word often betrays a great design.
Racine, Jean
Words are the money of fools.
Hobbes, Thomas
Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
Stalin, Joseph
Nothing can throw thee into the infernal abyss so much as this detested word -- heed well! -- this mine and thine.
Silesius, Angelus
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Lowell, James Russell
Words are all we have.
Beckett, Samuel
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous
Good words are worth a thousand pictures.
If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.
Proverb, Chinese
