Best Quotes about Words

1.
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

2.
Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.
Huxley, Aldous

3.
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
Eliot, T. S.

4.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will make me go in a corner and cry by myself for hours.
Idle, Eric

5.
Why do social workers use five-syllable words when dealing with juvenile delinquents?

6.
Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what we are given by the senses.
Arendt, Hannah

7.
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Spencer, Herbert

8.
The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.
Mohammed

9.
There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.
Zinsser, William

10.
A word from the mouth is like a stone from a sling.
Proverb, Spanish

11.
The supply of words in the world market is plentiful but the demand is falling. Let deeds follow words now.
Walesa, Lech

12.
To be brief is almost a condition of being inspired.
Santayana, George

13.
Words are like eyeglasses they blur everything that they do not make clear.
Joubert, Joseph

14.
Bu is a word that cools many a warm impulse, stifles many a kindly thought, puts a dead stop to many a brotherly deed. No one would ever love his neighbor as himself if he listened to all the Buts that could be said.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

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

17.
Every spoken word arouses our self-will.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.
Churchill, Winston

19.
If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
Wright, Steven

20.
Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.
Huxley, Julian S.

21.
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

22.
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
Adams, John

23.
When I look at you, the wheels of time stand still vs. Your face could stop a clock

24.
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

25.
Words are all we have.
Beckett, Samuel

26.
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

27.
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work? A stick!
Kirchenbaum

28.
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

29.
The last thing a political party gives up is its vocabulary.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

30.
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

31.
The closer the look one takes at a word, the greater distance from which it looks back.
Kraus, Karl

32.
All words are part true and part false.
Kahn, Master

33.
The written word can be erased -- not so with the spoken word.

34.
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
Diller, Phyllis

35.
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

36.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Lao-Tzu

37.
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

38.
Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

39.
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.
Cather, Willa

40.
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

41.
A single word often betrays a great design.
Racine, Jean

42.
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

43.
The 500 most commonly used words have an average of 28 meanings each.

44.
I don't give a damn for man that can spell a word only one way.
Twain, Mark

45.
Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

46.
Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
Stalin, Joseph

47.
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Coolidge, Calvin

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

49.
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
Woolf, Virginia

50.
Gentle words, quiet words, are after all the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing.
Gladden, W.
