The written word can be erased -- not so with the spoken word.

Never use big words where a diminutive one will suffice.

One thing you can give and still keep is your word.

When I look at you, the wheels of time stand still vs. Your face could stop a clock

O God, give me words to make my dream-children live.

A quarrel is like buttermilk, once it's out of the churn; the more you shake it, the more sour it grows

I'm so surprised, and I can't find any words for it.

Nothing can throw thee into the infernal abyss so much as this detested word -- heed well! -- this mine and thine.

The words 'defense contractor' kind of worries me.

Like an arrow to its mark flies the word good man's word.
