Words

We are getting into semantics again. If we use words, there is a very grave danger they will be misinterpreted.
- Haldeman, Harold Robbins

Best Quotes about Words

1.
Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing.
Gladden, W.

2.
When I look at you, the wheels of time stand still vs. Your face could stop a clock

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Card, Orson Scott

6.
It is with a word as with an arrow -- once let it loose and it does not return.

7.
A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of the discussion.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

8.
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph

9.
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Ibsen, Henrik

10.
Like an arrow to its mark flies the word good man's word.
Platen

11.
The written word can be erased -- not so with the spoken word.

12.
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

13.
Good words are worth a thousand pictures.

14.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Lao-Tzu

15.
The two most beautiful words in the English language are: Check Enclosed.
Parker, Dorothy

16.
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
Waugh, Evelyn

17.
If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.
Proverb, Chinese

18.
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

19.
Words are the money of fools.
Hobbes, Thomas

20.
Words of love, are works of love.
Alger, William R.

21.
Strong words are required for weak principles.
Horton, Doug

22.
The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold.

23.
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

24.
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
Adams, John

25.
Without words to objectify and categorize our sensations and place them in relation to one another, we cannot evolve a tradition of what is real in the world.
Hubbard, Ruth

26.
The safest words are always those which bring us most directly to facts.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

27.
Words will not fail when the matter is well considered.
Horace

28.
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Wright, Steven

29.
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

30.
Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what we are given by the senses.
Arendt, Hannah

31.
All words are part true and part false.
Kahn, Master

32.
You can stroke people with words.

33.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William

34.
Words are loaded pistols.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

35.
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

36.
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work? A stick!
Kirchenbaum

37.
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

38.
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

39.
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Horace

40.
Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
Stalin, Joseph

41.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Lowell, James Russell

42.
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Spencer, Herbert

43.
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Coolidge, Calvin

44.
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

45.
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
Diller, Phyllis

46.
A single word often betrays a great design.
Racine, Jean

47.
There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.
Reid, Thomas

48.
Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.
Rohn, Jim

49.
Words represent your intellect. The sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.
Fripp, Patricia

50.
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Bachelard, Gaston
