Watch your thoughts they become words. Watch your words they become actions. Watch your actions they become habits. Watch your habits they become character. Watch your character it becomes your destiny. ~ Patrick Overton The politician is ... trained in the art of inexactitude. His words tend to be blunt or rounded, because if they have a cutting edge they may later return to wound him. ~ Edward R. Murrow Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts... ~ Robert Fulghum All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Berliner ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. ~ Lao-Tzu The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken. ~ Homer, The Odyssey An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Fame - a few words upon a tombstone, and the truth of those not to be depended on. ~ John Christian Bovee For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, It might have been! ~ John Greenleaf Whittier I could have spoken from Rhode Island where I have been staying ... But I felt that, in speaking from the house of Lincoln, of Jackson, and of Wilson, my words would better convey both the sadness I feel in the action I was compelled today to make and the firmness with which I intend to pursue this course until the orders of the federal court at Little Rock can be executed without unlawful interference. On sending troops to enforce integration in Little Rock AR High School ~ Dwight D Eisenhower Grasp the subject, the words will follow. ~ Cato the Elder
