Words Quotes

The treasure I have found cannot be described in words, the mind cannot conceive of it Picture Quote #1

As ideas are preserved and communicated by means of words, it necessarily follows that we cannot improve the language of any science, without at the same time improving the science itself; neither can we, on the other hand, improve a science without improving the language or nomenclature which belongs to it Picture Quote #1

One of the principal obstacles to the rapid diffusion of a new idea lies in the difficulty of finding suitable expression to convey its essential point to other minds. Words may have to be strained into a new sense, and scientific controversies constantly resolve themselves into differences about the meaning of words. On the other hand, a happy nomenclature has sometimes been more powerful than rigorous logic in allowing a new train of thought to be quickly and generally accepted Picture Quote #1

The impossibility of separating the nomenclature of a science from the science itself, is owing to this, that every branch of physical science must consist of three things; the series of facts which are the objects of the science, the ideas which represent these facts, and the words by which these ideas are expressed. Like three impressions of the same seal, the word ought to produce the idea, and the idea to be a picture of the fact Picture Quote #1

We become intoxicated with color, with words that speak of color, and with the sun that makes colors brighter Picture Quote #1

With the exception of the geometrical series, there does not exist in all of mathematics a single infinite series the sum of which has been rigorously determined. In other words, the things which are the most important in mathematics are also those which have the least foundation Picture Quote #1

Language is the principal tool with which we communicate; but when words are used carelessly or mistakenly, what was intended to advance mutual understanding may in fact hinder it; our instrument becomes our burden Picture Quote #1

There is nothing that can be said by mathematical symbols and relations which cannot also be said by words. The converse, however, is false. Much that can be and is said by words cannot successfully be put into equations, because it is nonsense Picture Quote #1

A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence Picture Quote #1

With full responsibility for my words as a professional biologist, I do not hesitate to say that all existing and genuine knowledge about the way in which the physical characteristics of human communities are related to their cultural capabilities can be written on the back of a postage stamp Picture Quote #1

You have to be precise. You have to be specific, but you want to be accurate. That is first and foremost. You want to be on top of the story, but words do matter Picture Quote #1

I was shown a fledgling learning to fly. It’s first efforts were very feeble. But as it used its wings more and more, they became stronger until it found the freedom of flight and was able to soar to great heights and fly great distance without any effort. I heard the words: Faith comes with practice. Live by faith until it becomes rocklike unshakable, and find the true freedom of the spirit Picture Quote #1

There is no such thing as chance or accident; the words merely signify our ignorance of some real and immediate cause Picture Quote #1

If I had time in a bottle, if words could make wishes come true, I’d save everyday for eternity passes. And then I would spend them with you Picture Quote #1

Yelling doesn’t win ball games. It doesn’t put any points on the scoreboard. And I don’t think words win ball games all the time. Players do. Preparation does Picture Quote #1

When your commitment is to be loving regardless of the circumstances, there is no room for harsh words. You assert yourself not from a desire to control but from a desire to stand for who you are Picture Quote #1

Whenever there is a conflict between precept and example, the latter wins because deeds speak louder than our words Picture Quote #1

Once you can express yourself, you can tell the world what you want from it. All the changes in the world, for good or evil, were first brought about by words Picture Quote #1

If typography is calling attention to itself, it’s taking that attention away from what the words are saying Picture Quote #1

Indeed, so deep is my pleasure in the work of the garden that, if there be a dimension after death in which grieving for the loss of the world of senses is possible, I shall grieve for no person however once agonisingly desired and passionately beloved, for no emotional adventure however uplifting, for no success however warming, no infamy however exhilarating, for nothing half so much as I shall grieve to the loss of the earth itself, the soil, the seeds, the plants, the very weeds... It is a love almost overriding my love the words that could express that love Picture Quote #1

There are no easy words for the insights of the spirit, and approximate language used in good faith can cause approximate truths to spread like a disease Picture Quote #1

Words matter, and the right words matter most of all. In the end they’re all that remain of us Picture Quote #1

Without trust, words become the hollow sound of a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself Picture Quote #1

Don’t take action with a trade until the market, itself, confirms your opinion. Being a little late in a trade is insurance that your opinion is correct. In other words, don’t be an impatient trader Picture Quote #1

His heritage to his children wasn’t words or possessions, but an unspoken treasure, the treasure of his example as a man and a father Picture Quote #1

A diverse ecosystem will also be resilient, because it contains many species with overlapping ecological functions that can partially replace one another. When a particular species is destroyed by a severe disturbance so that a link in the network is broken, a diverse community will be able to survive and reorganize itself... In other words, the more complex the network is, the more complex its pattern of interconnections, the more resilient it will be Picture Quote #1

There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists Picture Quote #1

In science there is a dictum: don’t add an experiment to an experiment. Don’t make things unnecessarily complicated. In writing fiction, the more fantastic the tale, the plainer the prose should be. Don’t ask your readers to admire your words when you want them to believe your story Picture Quote #1

He that uses many words for explaining any subject, doth, like the cuttlefish, hide himself for the most part in his own ink Picture Quote #1

The way to write a book is to actually write a book. A pen is useful, typing is also good. Keep putting words on the page Picture Quote #1
