  • Don't take our word for it. Read the Bible itself. Read the statements of preachers. And you will understand that God is the most desperate character, the worst villain in all fiction.

  • Marriage and parenting are the two strongest vows anyone will ever make. When you see these commitments being carelessly discarded, you can be certain that the ethics of that generation have been abandoned. ... What our society needs is a good dose of biblical ethic from God's people - the kind of ethic that requires us to keep our word no matter what the costs. Situational ethics have so shaped our society that even God's people have lost the concept of absolutes when it comes to keeping our word.

    Life   Giving   Wish  
    Marlo Morgan (1991). “Mutant message down under”, Bookpeople
  • In the space between stimulus (what happens) and how we respond, lies our freedom to choose. Ultimately, this power to choose is what defines us as human beings. We may have limited choices but we can always choose. We can choose our thoughts, emotions, moods, our words, our actions; we can choose our values and live by principles. It is the choice of acting or being acted upon.

  • If we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love, and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of ‘I could have, I should have’. We can sleep in a storm. And when its time, our goodbyes will be complete.

    Mitch Albom (2011). “Have a Little Faith: A True Story”, p.105, Hachette UK

    Ernest Hemingway (2014). “The Hemingway Collection”, p.2231, Simon and Schuster
  • It is essential that America's word be good. And so I know that this campaign has caused some questioning and worries on the part of many leaders across the globe. I've talked with a number of them. But I want to - on behalf of myself, and I think on behalf of a majority of the American people, say that, you know, our word is good.

    Hillary Clinton's speech at the first 2016 Trump-Clinton presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, moderated by anchor of NBC Nightly News Lester Holt, www.nbcnews.com. September 26, 2016.
  • But to ask pity of our body is like discoursing in front of an octopus, for which our words can have no more meaning than the sound of the tides, and with which we should be appalled to find ourselves condemned to live.

    Le Cote de Guermantes (The GuermantesWay) pt. 1 (1921) (translation by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin)
  • To each his own way and his own prayer. God does not take us at our word. He looks deep into our hearts. It is not the ceremonies or rituals that make a difference, but whether our hearts are sufficiently pure or not.

  • When you stop to examine the way in which our words are formed and uttered, our sentences are hard-put to it to survive the disaster of their slobbery origins.

    "Journey to the End of the Night". Book by Louis-Ferdinand Celine, 1932.
  • When we can't hold back, or set boundaries, on what comes from our lips, our words are in charge-not us. But we are still responsible for those words. Our words do not come from somewhere outside of us, as if we were a ventriloquist's dummy. They are the product of our hearts. Our saying, "I didn't mean that," is probably better translated, "I didn't want you to know I thought that about you." We need to take responsibility for our words. "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken" (Matt. 12:36).

  • I have long come to believe that, more than any other destruction, our word-recklessness is endangering the future of us all.

  • Only let it be trust in God, not in man, not in circumstances, not in any of your own exertions, but real trust in God, and you will be helped in your various necessities... Not in circumstances, not in natural prospects, not in former donors, but solely in God. This is just that which brings the blessing. If we say we trust in Him, but in reality do not, then God, taking us at our word, lets us see that we do not really confide in Him; and hence failure arises. On the other hand, if our trust in the Lord is real, help will surely come.

  • For what St. Augustine said is true, that one can sing nothing worthy of God save what one has received from Him. Wherefore though we look far and wide we will find no better songs nor songs more suitable to that purpose than the Psalms of David, which the Holy Spirit made and imparted to him. Thus, singing them we may be sure that our words come from God just as if He were to sing in us for His own exaltation. Wherefore, Chrysostom exhorts men, women, and children alike to get used to singing them, so as through this act of meditation to become as one with the choir of angels.

  • As doctors, we are not trained to communicate and understand the power of our words as they relate to a patient's ability and desire to survive.

    "The Power of Words: Revising the Doctor-Patient Relationship" by Bernie Siegel, www.huffingtonpost.com. June 23, 2010.
  • The way we live often speaks far louder than our words.

    Our Words   Way   Speak  
    Billy Graham (2012). “Hope for Each Day: Morning & Evening Devotions”, p.435, Thomas Nelson Inc
  • Few of us will do the spectacular deeds of heroism that spread themselves across the pages of our newspapers in big black headlines. But we can all be heroic in the little things of everyday life. We can do the helpful things, say the kind words, meet our difficulties with courage and high hearts, stand up for the right when the cost is high, keep our word even though it means sacrifice, be a giver instead of a destroyer. Often this quiet, humble heroism is the greatest heroism of all.

    Hero   Heart   Humble  
    Wilferd Arlan Peterson, Xizhen Wu (1978). “當代的生活藝術”
  • One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes we have.

    Joyce Meyer (2012). “Change Your Words, Change Your Life: Understanding the Power of Every Word You Speak”, p.7, Hachette UK
  • We must never say, even in fun, that we are disheartened, because someone might take us at our word.

    Fun   Our Words   Might  
    Cesare Pavese (1961). “The Burning Brand: Diaries 1935-1950”, New York : Walker
  • If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative.

  • It is not our sexual preferences, the color of our skin, the language we speak, nor the religion we practice that creates friction, hatred and wars amongst in society. It is our words and the words of our leaders that can create that disparity.

    War   Color   Practice  
    "The Power of Words" by Yehuda Berg, www.huffingtonpost.com. September 14, 2010.
  • We must begin by admitting that people and situations do not cause us to speak as we do. Our hearts control our words. People and situations simply provide the occasion for the heart to express itself.
