“When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.”
Lewis Carroll
“Each person creates the life they live by choosing the words they speak.”
Thomas J. Powell
“And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.”
Bible
“Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”
William Shakespeare
“Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man.”
“Scorn also to depress thy competitor by any dishonest or unworthy method; strive to raise thyself above him only by excelling him; so shall thy contest for superiority be crowned with honour, if not with success.”
Akhenaton
“A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.”
William Arthur Ward
