Motivational Quotes
Words
Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing.
Best Quotes about Words
It is with a word as with an arrow -- once let it loose and it does not return.
If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.
Proverb, Chinese
When I look at you, the wheels of time stand still vs. Your face could stop a clock
Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
A word from the mouth is like a stone from a sling.
Proverb, Spanish
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
Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.
Rohn, Jim
On a single winged word hath hung the destiny of nations.
Phillips, Wendell
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
Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.
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.
Saperstein, Rose
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Bachelard, Gaston
Words are the money of fools.
Hobbes, Thomas
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
Twain, Mark
I don't give a damn for man that can spell a word only one way.
Twain, Mark
Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.
Hurd, Pearl Strachan
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
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
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
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Horace
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Wright, Steven
Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph
A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of the discussion.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
Words are loaded pistols.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
All our words from loose using have lost their edge.
Hemingway, Ernest
Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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.
Words represent your intellect. The sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.
Fripp, Patricia
Good words are worth a thousand pictures.
Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins.
Renard, Jules
Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
Stalin, Joseph
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous
The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold.
I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.
Churchill, Winston
A wise man hears one word and understands two.
Proverb, Yiddish
You can stroke people with words.
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
Waugh, Evelyn
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
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
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
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
Woolf, Virginia
All words are part true and part false.
Kahn, Master
Strong words are required for weak principles.
Horton, Doug
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
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
