Public opinion is a permeating influence, and it exacts obedience to itself; it requires us to drink other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits Picture Quote #1

So spake those wary foes, fair friends in look, and so in words great gifts they gave and took, and had small profit, and small loss thereby Picture Quote #1

Let us speak, love, together some words of our story, that our lips as they part may remember the glory! O soft day, o calm day, made clear for our sake! Picture Quote #1

There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them - isn't this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual? Picture Quote #1

Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us Picture Quote #1

This is a confusing and uncertain period, when a thousand wise words can go completely unnoticed, and one thoughtless word can provoke an utterly nonsensical furor Picture Quote #1

Ah! Wilt thou leave me then without one kiss, to slay the very seeds of fear and doubt, that glad tomorrow may bring certain bliss? Hast thou forgotten how love lives by this, the memory of some hopeful close embrace, low whispered words within some lonely place? Picture Quote #1

Of heaven or hell I have no power to sing, I cannot ease the burden of your fears, or make quick-coming death a little thing, or bring again the pleasure of past years, nor for my words shall ye forget your tears, or hope again for aught that I can say, the idle singer of an empty day Picture Quote #1

To happy folk all heaviest words no more of meaning bear than far-off bells saddening the summer air Picture Quote #1

Speak no harsh, words of Earth; she is our mother, and few of us her sons who have not added a wrinkle to her brow Picture Quote #1

Fine phrases I value more than bank notes. I have ear for no other harmony than the harmony of words. To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for Picture Quote #1

Do not fancy, as too many do, that thou canst praise God by singing hymns to him in church once a week, and disobeying him all the week long. He asks of thee works as well as words; and more, he asks of thee works first and words after Picture Quote #1

There is something very wonderful about music. Words are wonderful enough; but music is even more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts as words do; it speaks through our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls. Music soothes us, stirs us up, it puts noble feelings in us, it can make us cringe; and it can melt us to tears; and yet we have no idea how. It is a language by itself, just as perfect in its ways as speech, as words, just as divine, just as blessed Picture Quote #1

These days, you have the option of staying home, blogging in your underwear, and not having your words mangled. I think I like the direction things are headed Picture Quote #1

For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words, but for a lifetime John McCain has inspired with his deeds Picture Quote #1

Covenants, without the sword, are but words, and of no strength to secure a man at all. The bonds of words are too weak to bridle man's ambition, avarice, anger, and other passions, without the fear of some coercive power Picture Quote #1

Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them; but they are the money of fools, that value them by the authority of an Aristotle, a Cicero, or a Thomas, or any other doctor whatsoever, if but a man Picture Quote #1

A wise man should so write (though in words understood by all men) that wise men only should be able to commend him Picture Quote #1

I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead Picture Quote #1

People will frighten you about a graduation.... They use words you don't hear often: And we wish you Godspeed. It is a warning, Godspeed. It means you are no longer welcome here at these prices Picture Quote #1

I have defeated this Earthworm with my words. Imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists Picture Quote #1

Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories Picture Quote #1

I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and the courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words Picture Quote #1
