Words

Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing.

Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.

Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

11.
Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.
Huxley, Julian S.

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.

Hemingway, Ernest

19.
Eating words has never given me indigestion.
Churchill, Winston

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

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

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

30.
Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
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.

32.
Words represent your intellect. The sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.
Fripp, Patricia

33.
Good words are worth a thousand pictures.

You can stroke people with words.

41.
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
Waugh, Evelyn

42.
Our lives are fed by kind words and gracious behavior. We are nourished by expressions like excuse me and other such simple courtesies... Rudeness, the absence of the sacrament of consideration, is but another mark that our time-is-money society is lacking in spirituality, if not also in its enjoyment of life.
Hays, Ed

43.
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

44.
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.

Carnegie, Dale
