When the person you love can't see your love for them beneath the painful things you say when they reject you, remember this: Love is blind.

Shannon L. Alder

I don't like compliments and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean.

Oscar Wilde

If we are the trees, words are our roots; and we grow as we write

Munia Khan

Words alone can effect great good as well as evil. A few apt words have swept candidates into office, ended as well as started wars, paved the way for peace and carried with them both hope as well as despair. Words alone have ruined lives, but have also brought forth healing. It is well known the harm words can cause, but the good they can bring is equally impressive.

Steve Goodier

The road was so dimly lighted.There we;re no highway signs to guide.But they made up their minds,If all roads were blind,They wouldn't give up 'til they died....

Amy Harmon

My head is a hive of words that won't settle.

Virginia Woolf

But words in a book were one thing. The true test came in battle.

George R.R. Martin

A man's words reveal, first, the man. The words are not the man, and yet they reveal him faithfully and are to be identified with him. Out of the abundance of the heart, the man speaks. The foundational nature of all language is therefore metaphorical because every word a man speaks reveals himself—just as God reveals Himself through the Word. Every word spoken ultimately reveals the speaker.

N.D. Wilson

VISION is the voice inside that transcends words and shines through the initiation!

Charles A. Brown II

His writer's words poured over her like poetry, and she couldn't find a single wisecrack to put up between them.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips

We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not some books continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter; during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, and cities have been decayed and demolished?

Francis Bacon

The words we choose can build communities, reunite loved ones, and inspire others. They can be a catalyst for change. However, our words also have the power to destroy and divide: they can start a war, reduce a lifelong relationship to a collection of memories, or end a life.

Simon S Tam

Words are so ridiculous sometimes. The don't really mean anything, but they're all I have.

Nyrae Dawn

Writing poetry is about learning to pare down the poem to the most essential words. Every word used has to be crucial to the poem.

Harley King

The world is so big and words are so small!

Marty Rubin

The most powerful of words are the one seldom spoken

Kaelo Setogang

And I learned that sometimes when someone says something so devastatingly perfect, there isn't a need for a response. The words said it all.

Jennifer L. Armentrout

Words could bite. When I spoke to strangers, I wanted my words to have fangs.

Whitney Barbetti

You said the words, and they altered the universe. By merely speaking you could create damage and pain, cause tears to fall, drive people away, make yourself feel better, make your life worse.

Lev Grossman

Words never fade away but echo on for eternity. Let your echo ring sweet.

Richelle E. Goodrich

Good communication has just a little to do with eloquence. It's character that makes it more successful. Harsh words nicely articulated are sharp enough to kill your brand!

Israelmore Ayivor

It sounds trite, but only because words make everything true sound trite. Because words always screw up what you're trying to say.

Chuck Palahniuk

. . .our whispered words, faintly in the darkness, dissolvingwithin the trees—then, fleeting words of consolationwould not suffice if feigned, and flippant wordsconfessed reluctance—our wordswere meaningless uttered on the wind. . .

John Daniel Thieme

Prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated hen-house.

George Orwell

Intelligence is a way of thinking, not a choice of words.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Words are not swords.

George R.R. Martin

Spiritual activity, education, civilization, culture, the idea are all vague, indefinite concepts, under the banner of which it is quite convenient to use words that have a still less clear meaning and therefore can easily be plugged into any theory.

Leo Tolstoy

It pleases him how Spell is how the word is made but also, in the hands of the magician, how the world is changed. One letter separates Word from World, and that letter is like the number one, or an 'I', or a shaft of light between almost closed curtains. There is an old letter called a thorn, which jags and tears at the throat as it's uttered. Later he learns that Grammar and Glamour share the same deeper root, which is further magic, and there can be neither magic without that root, nor plant. He's lost in it like Chid in Child, or God reversed into Dog. Somewhere inside him is a colon. A sentence can last for life.

Charles Lambert

With hand gestures, you can fill in a lot of gaps, and the words thing and stuff and -ness also help: patientness instead of patience, fastness instead of speed, honestness instead of honesty. With these choices, many words can be indicated, and pointing or gesticulating usually works.

Aimee Bender

I don't even like the word ‘indoors’. It doesn’t make sense. According to you right now, by stepping through the doorway I’d be indoors. Yet I wouldn’t actually be standing in the doorway. If it’s supposed to refer to being inside a building, then they shouldn’t have used the word ‘door,’ since last time I checked, doors don’t make up every square inch of a building! And I’d assume that now, since I’m not indoors, you’d say I’m ‘out of doors’, right? But, shouldn’t out of doors just be everywhere that’s not directly under a door? You know what, from now on I insist that everyone refer to being in a building as being ‘under-roof’.

Natalie Bina

Life is a recipe book our words always cook enough.

Kishore Bansal

The planet you inhabit is a single plane of infinite dimensions, stretched like a guitar string, and standing before you like a concubine waiting for your command.

Thomas Lloyd Qualls

The object of poetic activity is essentially language: whatever his beliefs & convictions, the poet is more concerned with words than what these words designate.

Octavio Paz

If you are tempted to revealA tale to you someone has toldAbout another, make it pass,Before you speak, three gates of gold;These narrow gates. First, "Is it true?"Then, "Is it needful?" In your mindGive truthful answer. And the nextIs last and narrowest, "Is it kind?"And if to reach your lips at lastIt passes through these gateways three,Then you may tell the tale, nor fearWhat the result of speech may be.

Beth Day

we are destroyed or uplifted by what they hear instantly or cumulatively

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

The words a person reads and hears and repeats become his own, enter his verbal storehouse. When needed they become, even if he does not know it, the clothing for the thoughts to which he gives birth.

Moshe Seidel

Powerful words that penetrate the psyche are not forgotten while silence is.

Donna Lynn Hope

There will be more words written on Twitter in the next two years than contained in all books ever printed.

Christian Rudder

What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.

Mary GrandPré

How long does one have to live before one can no longer be fooled by words?

Marty Rubin

One of the difficulties of thinking clearly about anything is that it is almost impossible not to form our ideas in words which have some previous association for us; with the result that our thought is already shaped along certain lines before we have begun to follow it out. Again, a word may have various meanings, and our use of it in one sense may deceive our readers (or even ourselves) into supposing that we were using it in some other sense.

A.A. Milne

Display politeness and frankness always both in action and conversation. Don’t keep engaging in useless arguments. It scares your dreams away. Talk sensibly.

Israelmore Ayivor

The sound of the words as they're said is always different from the sound they make when they're heard, because the speaker hears some of the sound from the inside

David Levithan

We Are The Salt Of The Earth, We should Add Godly Flavour to People's Lives via Our Words

Jaachynma N.E. Agu

Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is gone;But there's half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on, Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to the sea. And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.Drop a pebble in the water: in a minute you forget,But there's little waves a-flowing, and there's ripples circling yet, And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown; You've disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute it is gone;But there's half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on. They keep spreading, spreading, spreading from the center as they go, And there is no way to stop them, once you've started them to flow.Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute you forget,But there's little waves a-flowing, and there's ripples circling yet, And perhaps in some sad heart a mighty wave of tears you've stirred, And disturbed a life was happy ere you dropped that unkind word.Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone; But there's half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on, Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave Till you wouldn't believe the volume of the one kind word you gave.Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you forget;But there's gladness still a-swelling, and there's joy a-circling yet, And you've rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music can be heard Over miles and miles of water just by dropping one kind word.

James W. Foley

Words are great, but even I can admit they have certain short-comings. No word can ever give justice to a smile from a man who never smiled or to an old woman who gives up her seat on the bus to a soldier who lost his leg. And I’m still convinced there’s no word out there for the feeling you get the first time you ever hit home plate or bury your first dog or muster up enough courage to tell a girl you love her.

Laura Miller

A metaphor is not an ornament. It is an organ of perception. Through metaphors, we see the world as one thing or another.

Neil Postman

In the shade of words sits life itself.

Aisha Mirza

When you speak, your words echo only across the room or down the hall. but when you write, your words echo down the ages.

People don't like to wait for words, they want the words to wait for them.

Therese May

Talk to strangers politely. You don’t how many of them will become your close companions.

Israelmore Ayivor

I love that word. Forever. I love that forever doesn't exist, but we have a word for it anyway, and use it all the time. It's beautiful and doomed.

Viv Albertine

A man of words and not of deeds, Is like a garden full of weeds.

Benjamin Franklin

Why do people who can talk right waste so many words saying nothing?

Vince Vawter

Well, it's really no use our talking in the way we have been doing if the words we use mean something different to each of us...and nothing.

Malcolm Bradbury

Despite her words about letting go, melancholy washed over her. Because words are easy and often thrown around with trite intentions.

A. Lynn

Be careful of what we say or do on this earth as every word and every action has a return.

Aisha Mirza
