Better than a thousand ordsprog
Bättre än tusen tomma ord, är ett som ger fred.
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
Buddha

Even though a speech be a thousand (of words), but made up of senseless words, one word of sense is better, which if a man hears, he becomes quiet.
Friedrich Max Muller
I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.

Let mortals beware of words
For with words we lie
Can speak peace
When we mean war
But song is true
Let music for peace
Be the paradigm
For peace means change
At the right time

This is a look at a particular world of artists, and when it comes to words, well, that's our currency. In terms of mindset, we'll entertain almost any idea. We're trying to be creative. There's nothing about any given word that's better or worse than other given word. A word is a word.

YOKE, n. An implement, madam, to whose Latin name, _jugum_, we owe one of the most illuminating words in our language --a word that defines the matrimonial situation with precision, point and poignancy. A thousand apologies for withholding it.

It is pretty unusual that the peace process should not be influenced by elections. A new election cycle is expected to start in 2007 and it will last approximately three years. In other words, there will be elections in one or the other country [during that period]. We know by experience that any election slows down the peace process as it happened in 2003 [when there were presidential polls in Azerbaijan]. Sometimes, it even brings it to a halt for quite some time.
Yury Merzlyakov
Without trust, words become the hollow sound of a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself.

Tillförsikt
is a hollow gesture, because we don't want words. We want actions.

In the light of his vision he has found his freedom: his thoughts are peace, his words are peace and his work is peace.
The Dhammapada

The Dhammapada
The feeling of this is beyond words. It makes you feel hollow.
Lee Crabtree
And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, / And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, / And threescore and one thousand asses, / And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
Bible
It brings a sense of peace, it brings a sense of hope and it brings also the fact that your child meant something.
Adreinne Young
He had a word, too. Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn't need a word for that anymore than for pride or fear.
