Words

Words have meanings. When you put them together they ‘speak’. Sometimes what they say doesn’t matter much. But sometimes, what they say can inspire and motivate a person, or crush a person.

Kind words are worth much, and cost little. If you get the right words, you might be able to inspire and motivate someone, or make someone’s day.

There are occasions when the simplest and fewest words surpass in effect all the wealth of rhetorical amplification. - George Henry Lewes

Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. - Patrick Rothfuss

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. - Mother Teresa

A very great part of the mischiefs that vex the world arises from words. - Edmund Burke

No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous. - Henry Adams

Words are but the shining garments of Thought. - Edwin Leibfreed

All words are pegs to hang ideas on. - Henry Ward Beecher

Fair words never hurt the tongue. - George Chapman

The right word is always a power, and communicates its definiteness to our action. - George Eliot

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