Saying the words doesn’t make it true.
If you use fancy-pants words first thing in the morning, you’re going to end up a very lonely man.
Do you know what the saddest words are in the English language? “Vacant lot.”[to Syd]
A man is only as good as his word.
You have my word, and my word is gold.
Words matter. When we’re gone, they’re all we leave behind.
Words define who we are. Officer. Orphan. Widower. Shipmate. But there is no word for the unique agony of uncertainty.
Words are small. Deeds are giant.
Words are important and how we use them is important.
Words are fine, but they don’t win battles.[to Alfred]
The true measure of a man are his deeds, not his words.
Sometimes words cut so deep that they forever change how you see a person.
