Words have power. Words created this universe... Everything started with the Word. The Bible says, 'In the beginning was the word.' In the same way, your words have creative power.

Words, without power, is mere philosophy.

Words outlive people, institutions, civilizations. Words spur images, associations, memories, inspirations and synapse pulsations. Words send off physical resonations of thought into the nethersphere. Words hurt, soothe, inspire, demean, demand, incite, pacify, teach, romance, pervert, unite, divide. Words be powerful.

Words take on many different meanings.

Words have meaning. And their meaning doesn't change.

According to scholars of linguistics, the relation between a word and its meaning is arbitrary.

Words are just words.

Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves.

Words have a life of their own. There is no telling what they will do. Within a matter of days, they can even turn turtle and mean the opposite.
