Best Quotes about Words

1.
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph

2.
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

3.
There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.
Reid, Thomas

4.
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

5.
I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.
Glasgow, Ellen

6.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Lowell, James Russell

7.
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.
Cather, Willa

8.
I don't give a damn for man that can spell a word only one way.
Twain, Mark

9.
All our words from loose using have lost their edge.
Hemingway, Ernest

10.
A new word is like a fresh seed sewn on the ground of the discussion.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

11.
You can stroke people with words.

12.
On a single winged word hath hung the destiny of nations.
Phillips, Wendell

13.
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

14.
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Coolidge, Calvin

15.
Political correctness is simply a speed bump in the traffic of truth, free thought and speech.

16.
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

17.
Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

18.
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Bachelard, Gaston

19.
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

20.
The safest words are always those which bring us most directly to facts.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

21.
Words are all we have.
Beckett, Samuel

22.
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
Diller, Phyllis

23.
It is with a word as with an arrow -- once let it loose and it does not return.

24.
The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.
Mohammed

25.
If the word has the potency to revive and make us free, it has also the power to blind, imprison, and destroy.
Ellison, Ralph

26.
Every spoken word arouses our self-will.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

27.
The closer the look one takes at a word, the greater distance from which it looks back.
Kraus, Karl

28.
The 500 most commonly used words have an average of 28 meanings each.

29.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Lao-Tzu

30.
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

31.
Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous

33.
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Ibsen, Henrik

34.
Eating words has never given me indigestion.
Churchill, Winston

35.
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

36.
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
Woolf, Virginia

37.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William

38.
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.

39.
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

40.
Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing.
Gladden, W.

41.
To be brief is almost a condition of being inspired.
Santayana, George

42.
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Card, Orson Scott

43.
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.

44.
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

45.
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
Twain, Mark

46.
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

47.
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
Adams, John

48.
Words will not fail when the matter is well considered.
Horace

49.
When I look at you, the wheels of time stand still vs. Your face could stop a clock

50.
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Spencer, Herbert
