Words are potent weapons for all causes, good or bad.

Parents, teachers, clergy and physicians change lives with their words. It is hypnotic for a child or patient to hear an authority figure's words. As I am always sharing, 'wordswordswords' can become 'swordswordswords,' and we can kill or cure with either words or swords.

Words are most malignant, the most treacherous possession of mankind. They are saturated with the sorrows of all time.

Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.

I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.

Words are more treacherous and powerful than we think.

If words don't have vibration behind them, and a real feeling behind them, then they're just words.

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.

Words are also actions, and actions are a kind of words.
