Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit--- YOU choose.
The tongue is a powerful tool. And the words we say are never forgotten. Never.
Words are to be taken seriously. I try to take seriously acts of language. Words set things in motion. I've seen them doing it. Words set up atmospheres, electrical fields, charges.
The words you say could hurt or help you. "Change Your Words, Change Your Life"
For jokes as well as justice come in with speech.
Words can be used for venal purposes. Words are incredible sources of propaganda and can cause terrible havoc.
Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
There are remarks that sow and remarks that reap.
I don't think you can bury words. I think the more you try to dismiss them, the more power you give to them, the more circulation they have.
Words have power. The power to soothe. The power to skewer someone through the heart. The power to render someone speechless.
Words are hotter than flames. Words are wetter than water.
Words people say not only have a shelf life but have the ability to shape life.
