Motivational Quotes

Words

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.

Best Quotes about Words

1.
Nothing can throw thee into the infernal abyss so much as this detested word -- heed well! -- this mine and thine.
Silesius, Angelus

2.
To be brief is almost a condition of being inspired.
Santayana, George

3.
In fact, words are well adapted for description and the arousing of emotion, but for many kinds of precise thought other symbols are much better.
Haldane, John B. S.

4.
I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.
Glasgow, Ellen

5.
My general theory since 1971 has been that the word is literally a virus, and that it has not been recognized as such because it has achieved a state of relatively stable symbiosis with its human host; that is to say, the word virus (the Other Half) has established itself so firmly as an accepted part of the human organism that it can now sneer at gangster viruses like smallpox and turn them in to the Pasteur Institute.
Burroughs, William S.

6.
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
Hemingway, Ernest

7.
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
Adams, John

8.
The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold.

9.
The two most beautiful words in the English language are: Check Enclosed.
Parker, Dorothy

10.
Good words are worth a thousand pictures.

11.
If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.
Proverb, Chinese

12.
Words are loaded pistols.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

13.
The written word can be erased -- not so with the spoken word.

14.
Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.
Lehman, David

15.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Lao-Tzu

16.
You can stroke people with words.

17.
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
Diller, Phyllis

18.
The closer the look one takes at a word, the greater distance from which it looks back.
Kraus, Karl

19.
Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

20.
I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
Bachelard, Gaston

21.
Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins.
Renard, Jules

22.
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Horace

23.
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

24.
Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
Hemingway, Ernest

25.
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

26.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Lowell, James Russell

27.
Words are made for a certain exactness of thought, as tears are for a certain degree of pain. What is least distinct cannot be named; what is clearest is unutterable.
Daumal, Rene

28.
Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.
Huxley, Julian S.

29.
If the word has the potency to revive and make us free, it has also the power to blind, imprison, and destroy.
Ellison, Ralph

30.
Words of love, are works of love.
Alger, William R.

31.
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
Waugh, Evelyn

32.
All words are part true and part false.
Kahn, Master

33.
Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why --but the editorialists forget it --terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.
Berger, John

34.
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Wright, Steven

35.
Eating words has never given me indigestion.
Churchill, Winston

36.
A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of the discussion.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

37.
Like an arrow to its mark flies the word good man's word.
Platen

38.
When I look at you, the wheels of time stand still vs. Your face could stop a clock

39.
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Coolidge, Calvin

40.
Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what we are given by the senses.
Arendt, Hannah

41.
The 500 most commonly used words have an average of 28 meanings each.

42.
A word from the mouth is like a stone from a sling.
Proverb, Spanish

43.
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work? A stick!
Kirchenbaum

44.
All our words from loose using have lost their edge.
Hemingway, Ernest

45.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will make me go in a corner and cry by myself for hours.
Idle, Eric

46.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William

47.
You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
Carnegie, Dale

48.
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

49.
Our great men have written words of wisdom to be used when hardship must be faced. Life obliges us with hardship so the words of wisdom shouldn't go to waste.
L'Chiam

50.
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous
