Best Quotes about Words

1.
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

2.
The last thing a political party gives up is its vocabulary.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

3.
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

4.
Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
Stalin, Joseph

5.
Words are the money of fools.
Hobbes, Thomas

6.
Words of love, are works of love.
Alger, William R.

7.
Political correctness is simply a speed bump in the traffic of truth, free thought and speech.

8.
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
Hemingway, Ernest

9.
I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.
Glasgow, Ellen

10.
If the word has the potency to revive and make us free, it has also the power to blind, imprison, and destroy.
Ellison, Ralph

11.
Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.
The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold.

13.
Strong words are required for weak principles.
Horton, Doug

14.
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work? A stick!
Kirchenbaum

15.
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

16.
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph

17.
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

18.
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.

19.
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
Waugh, Evelyn

20.
Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

21.
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous

22.
We are getting into semantics again. If we use words, there is a very grave danger they will be misinterpreted.
Haldeman, Harold Robbins

23.
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

24.
Eating words has never given me indigestion.
Churchill, Winston

25.
The safest words are always those which bring us most directly to facts.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

26.
Keep your words sweet -- you may have to eat them. I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Grellet, Stephan

27.
Words represent your intellect. The sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.
Fripp, Patricia

28.
All our words from loose using have lost their edge.
Hemingway, Ernest

29.
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Coolidge, Calvin

30.
On a single winged word hath hung the destiny of nations.
Phillips, Wendell

31.
Every spoken word arouses our self-will.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
Eliot, T. S.

33.
All words are part true and part false.
Kahn, Master

34.
Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

35.
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew, upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Byron, Lord

36.
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

37.
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Spencer, Herbert

38.
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

39.
Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what we are given by the senses.
Arendt, Hannah

40.
There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.
Reid, Thomas

41.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William

42.
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

43.
Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.
Huxley, Julian S.

44.
The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.
Mohammed

45.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Lowell, James Russell

46.
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.

47.
If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.
Proverb, Chinese

48.
Words are loaded pistols.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

49.
Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

50.
Good words are worth a thousand pictures.
