“Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant.”
Victor Hugo
“Puns are little 'plays on words' that a certain breed of person loves to spring on you and then look at you in a certain self-satisfied way to indicate that he thinks that you must think that he is by far the cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is dead.”
Dave Barry
“A prophetic word is the most precious word that comes from the mouth of God as we hold on tight to our faith and to His word without a disbelief in our situation until it's manifested.”

“We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out”
Winston Churchill
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"”
Winnie the Pooh
“We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“Words in haste do friendships waste.”
Mark Twain
