Words

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

Best Quotes about Words

1.
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

2.
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
Diller, Phyllis

3.
The supply of words in the world market is plentiful but the demand is falling. Let deeds follow words now.
Walesa, Lech

4.
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
Woolf, Virginia

5.
Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
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

7.
Good words are worth a thousand pictures.

8.
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

9.
Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins.
Renard, Jules

10.
Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.
Rohn, Jim

11.
The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.
Mohammed

12.
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Wright, Steven

13.
There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.
Reid, Thomas

14.
One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.
Waugh, Evelyn

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.
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

17.
Political correctness is simply a speed bump in the traffic of truth, free thought and speech.

18.
The closer the look one takes at a word, the greater distance from which it looks back.
Kraus, Karl

19.
The two most beautiful words in the English language are: Check Enclosed.
Parker, Dorothy

20.
If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.
Proverb, Chinese

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William

26.
Words of love, are works of love.
Alger, William R.

27.
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

28.
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
Eliot, T. S.

29.
Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
Stalin, Joseph

30.
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Bachelard, Gaston

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.
Nothing can throw thee into the infernal abyss so much as this detested word -- heed well! -- this mine and thine.
Silesius, Angelus

33.
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

34.
Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.
Huxley, Julian S.

35.
Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what we are given by the senses.
Arendt, Hannah

36.
I don't give a damn for man that can spell a word only one way.
Twain, Mark

37.
Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

38.
Strong words are required for weak principles.
Horton, Doug

39.
Eating words has never given me indigestion.
Churchill, Winston

40.
Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

41.
All words are part true and part false.
Kahn, Master

42.
Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

43.
I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.
Glasgow, Ellen

44.
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph

45.
Like an arrow to its mark flies the word good man's word.
Platen

46.
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

47.
A wise man hears one word and understands two.
Proverb, Yiddish

48.
The safest words are always those which bring us most directly to facts.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

49.
A single word often betrays a great design.
Racine, Jean

50.
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous
