Words are the money of fools.

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

Bu' is a word that cools many a warm impulse, stifles many a kindly thought, puts a dead stop to many a brotherly deed. No one would ever love his neighbor as himself if he listened to all the 'Buts' that could be said.

If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words.

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

The volatile truth of our words should continually betray the inadequacy of the residual statement.

Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.

When I use a word,'' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone,'' it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.
