Motivational Quotes
Words
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.
Best Quotes about Words
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Lao-Tzu
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work? A stick!
Kirchenbaum
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
If the word has the potency to revive and make us free, it has also the power to blind, imprison, and destroy.
Ellison, Ralph
Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
Eliot, T. S.
I find it difficult to believe that words have no meaning in themselves, hard as I try. Habits of a lifetime are not lightly thrown aside.
Chase, Stuart
The 500 most commonly used words have an average of 28 meanings each.
Words are all we have.
Beckett, Samuel
Nothing can throw thee into the infernal abyss so much as this detested word -- heed well! -- this mine and thine.
Silesius, Angelus
Strong words are required for weak principles.
Horton, Doug
Words represent your intellect. The sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.
Fripp, Patricia
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
The last thing a political party gives up is its vocabulary.
Tocqueville, Alexis De
Words are loaded pistols.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.
Huxley, Julian S.
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
Adams, John
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William
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
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.
Cather, Willa
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Wright, Steven
Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins.
Renard, Jules
Political correctness is simply a speed bump in the traffic of truth, free thought and speech.
The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.
Mohammed
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
I don't give a damn for man that can spell a word only one way.
Twain, Mark
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
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
Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing.
Gladden, W.
It is with a word as with an arrow -- once let it loose and it does not return.
There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.
Reid, Thomas
Why do social workers use five-syllable words when dealing with juvenile delinquents?
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
Like an arrow to its mark flies the word good man's word.
Platen
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 always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It is one of the works of poetry to take the truants in custody and bring them back to their right senses.
Yeats, William Butler
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Lowell, James Russell
Words of love, are works of love.
Alger, William R.
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph
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
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Bachelard, Gaston
Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Coolidge, Calvin
Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what we are given by the senses.
Arendt, Hannah
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Card, Orson Scott
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
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Ibsen, Henrik
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
Woolf, Virginia
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
