Great language is mesmerizing; great communication is motivating.

If the poetic leads us into repose, then the prosaic leads us into response.

Wise action must originate in wise council, whereas wise council must terminate in wise action; never ought they be disconnected, but always ought they be differentiated.

When one speaks when one should listen, one loses the claim to doing either.

A well chosen phrase is thinking expressed. A pandemonium of poor propositions proves that no thinking threaded them together. In this latter way we accomplish less than animals, whose grunts and squeaks are at least intelligible to their own kind.

By words was the Creation declared and delivered. By words was the Creation deceived and destroyed.

Many men made many words with one meaning, making many men of one mind.

One word is often the difference between declaration and interrogation, thinking and nonsense, affirmation or negation, blessing or curse, life or death, unending repose or everlasting retribution.

A word, a subject, a noun, has no meaning without its counterpart word, its predicate, its object; just as a self has no meaning without an other. The verb makes the union vital.
