Words
The development of language is part of the development of the personality, for words are the natural means of expressing thoughts and establishing understanding between people.
The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
As I read more and more — and it was not all verse, by any means — my love for the real life of words increased until I knew that I must live with them and in them, always. I knew, in fact, that I must be a writer of words, and nothing else.
Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.

You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.
