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

Best Quotes about Words

1.
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Words are loaded pistols.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

5.
The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold.

6.
A word from the mouth is like a stone from a sling.
Proverb, Spanish

7.
Strong words are required for weak principles.
Horton, Doug

8.
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
Eliot, T. S.

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
Twain, Mark

13.
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

14.
Words are the money of fools.
Hobbes, Thomas

15.
If the word has the potency to revive and make us free, it has also the power to blind, imprison, and destroy.
Ellison, Ralph

16.
We are getting into semantics again. If we use words, there is a very grave danger they will be misinterpreted.
Haldeman, Harold Robbins

17.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Lowell, James Russell

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Political correctness is simply a speed bump in the traffic of truth, free thought and speech.

21.
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
Hemingway, Ernest

22.
Words of love, are works of love.
Alger, William R.

23.
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.

24.
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

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Why do social workers use five-syllable words when dealing with juvenile delinquents?

28.
Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.
Churchill, Winston

30.
To be brief is almost a condition of being inspired.
Santayana, George

31.
Words represent your intellect. The sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.
Fripp, Patricia

32.
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Coolidge, Calvin

33.
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

34.
Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

35.
When I look at you, the wheels of time stand still vs. Your face could stop a clock

36.
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

37.
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Horace

38.
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.
Cather, Willa

39.
On a single winged word hath hung the destiny of nations.
Phillips, Wendell

40.
Like an arrow to its mark flies the word good man's word.
Platen

41.
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

42.
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

43.
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph

44.
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Ibsen, Henrik

45.
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
Waugh, Evelyn

46.
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Bachelard, Gaston

47.
I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
Bachelard, Gaston

48.
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Spencer, Herbert

49.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Lao-Tzu

50.
Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.
Huxley, Julian S.
