Suit the action to the word, the word to the action.

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.

Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

Talking isn’t doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.

Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.

Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism, are all very good words for the lips.
