I was walking downtown and the drunk tank stopped and picked me up… I was like, ‘Wait a minute here fellas, there’s a misunderstanding. I’m not drunk. I have cerebral palsy.’ They were like, ‘That’s a pretty big word for a drunk.’
Word of mouth travels faster than anything else.
Let us wait in patience for the Christ-child whose own life depended on the lives of Mary and Joseph. The Word of God was made flesh. He came so that we might experience the fullness of time.
If I made a commitment, I stood by that commitment – and try to make it real. Because when you become leaders, the most important thing you have is your word, your trust. That’s where respect comes from.
Unlike scientism, science in the true sense of the word is open to unbiased investigation of any existing phenomena.
Empowerment is a word that comes with liberty.
I go farther, and say, that it is plainly our duty to desire pastors and teachers to take the care of such congregations, and that God did raise up such in the church as we see it in the word.
If you don’t know how to pronounce a word, say it loud!
My being a writer and playing Scrabble are connected. If I have a good writing day, I’ll take a break and play online Scrabble. My favorite word as a child was ‘carrion,’ before I knew what it meant. I later created crossword puzzles, which was a lot about puns, and how words would create these strange, strange things.
Bill Gates is a very rich man today… and do you want to know why? The answer is one word: versions.
The word ‘crunk’ means energy. ‘Crunk’ is the past tense of crank. So if you crank something up, you are getting it started and getting it going. So ‘crunk’ is when it’s going… when it’s off the hook.
I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word ‘fair’ in connection with income tax policies.
The truth is, you know, we need our anodynes. You know that word, anodynes? We need that in life some times. A good warm bath can be one for you, or a whatever.
If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended – for exercise. The more you read, the more you expand your – what’s the word I’m looking for? – your stockpile of words. You must have a stockpile of words that you can pass along to your children for their stockpile.
I don’t like the word ‘experiment’ in the context of art in general. It implies something immature, unfinished, something entertaining for a moment before it becomes irrelevant.
Before I look stupid and not know what a word means or how to pronounce it, I’ll stop the whole production: ‘Hey, real quick, guys. Define this word for me. Somebody.’
Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.
The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.
I am very clear that when I work with a director what he or she says is the last word.
In Korean, the word ‘future’ is made up of two parts. The first part means ‘not,’ and the second means ‘to come.’ In that sense, ‘future’ means something that will not come. This is to say the future is now, and our now is us living our future.
So no one should rely on television either for their knowledge of music or for news. There’s just more going on. It’s an adjunct to the written word, which I think is still the most important thing.
I believe that Christians believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works. And we believe that if you’re saved, Jesus becomes your savior. He makes a promise to you. You can trust his promises. You can bank on that word.
Ah! yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it.
For me, it’s enough that I have the first and last word.
Coincidence is the word we use when we can’t see the levers and pulleys.
Unhappy is a nice word.
Each word bears its weight, so you have to read my poems quite slowly.
Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
The ‘means of grace’ are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord’s Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification.
‘Inspiration’ is a word used by people who aren’t really doing anything.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
I don’t think it’s anything you ever get used to… for many years, I could never sort of put my name in the same sort of category as the word ‘famous’ or anything like that. And I just found it very uncomfortable… if you get used to it, then something must be wrong.
I always think of the word ‘abandonment’ when I think of the character.
In common use almost every word has many shades of meaning, and therefore needs to be interpreted by the context.
The word ‘Christianity’ is already a misunderstanding – in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
In order to feel loved, be respected and stay connected, we humans have a tendency to lie. We lie about who we are, what we want, what we need, what we have done or will do. Perhaps ‘lie’ is too strong a word. Let me say that what we do is withhold the truth.
You and I are players, God’s our coach, and we’re playing the biggest game of all. We have a loving God that made us. We need to get on His team. It says in His word, there’s only one way to Him and that’s through Jesus Christ.
You don’t have to get into, ‘I’m a leftist or a rightist, I’m Democrat or Republican.’ You don’t have to get into that kind of nitty gritty type of detail, but at the same time to show that you do have a stance is very, very important. To preach the good word of just being a good human being, being a humanitarian.
I think the term ‘friend’ itself has lost almost all of its exclusivity. Even the term ‘good friend’ is overused. Adding the word ‘vital’ provides a clear definition of what we mean.
I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying.
Being a wife and mother are the single most important roles in my life. They take a lot of work, a lot of patience, and help from God and His Word, but if you put in the effort, it’s more fulfilling than anything on earth.
Devotion, as it relates to the title of my memoir, means fidelity – as in fidelity to a person or a practice. I think it’s certainly possible to feel devotion without having faith, at least in the religious sense of the word.
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.
You have a responsibility to make inclusion a daily thought, so we can get rid of the word ‘inclusion.’
Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything.
When I get nervous, I get word vomit.
Your internal dialogue has got to be different from what you say. And, you know, in film, hopefully that registers and speaks volumes. It’s always the unspoken word and what’s happening behind someone’s eyes that makes it so rich.
For above all things Love means sweetness, and truth, and measure; yea, loyalty to the loved one and to your word. And because of this I dare not meddle with so high a matter.
I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.
Sovereignty is a word that is used often but it has really no specific meaning. Sovereignty today is nominal. Any number of countries that are sovereign are sovereign only nominally and relatively.
I’m only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.
Ask a science professor what she worries about. It won’t take long. She’ll look you in the eye and say one word: ‘Money.’
When you gossip, it’s self-hexing. Because when you do it, it comes back to you. Everything starts with the word. The word is demonstrating a condition of the mind. If it’s in your mind and comes out of your mouth, it will be created.
Failure isn’t an option. I’ve erased the word ‘fear’ from my vocabulary, and I think when you erase fear, you can’t fail.
I think quite a bit of organized religion has become big business. Jesus Christ never sold the word of God. He never gave a sermon and then said, ‘For $8.99, you can buy the CD.’
The best way to keep one’s word is not to give it.
Maybe ‘loner’ is too strong a word, but I’ve always enjoyed being on my own.

Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.
You hesitate to stab me with a word, and know not – silence is the sharper sword.
