Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«

And how much courage.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!

I can't wait to get away from this office!!

My favourite word in the English language is »language«. However, if you gave me a slightly larger set of words to choose from I might have more difficulty expressing a preference.

'Right again, quite right,' said Mr Swiveller, 'caution is the word, and caution is the act.'

Isn't it weird that words work as well as they do? Think about it.

Spaces define which letters go together to make up a word.

“Be careful what you say—you may have to eat your words.”

I don’t think so much about eating my words as about wearing them. When someone sees me, the words come back to haunt like a miasma around me. No matter how colourful my dress, bad words turn everything grey and muddy brown.

A word after a word after a word is power.

(Margaret Atwood)

In the beginning was the word, and the word was 32 bits.

Spaces define which letters to together to make up a word.

What I feel for you,
I can't put in words,
language won't hold
my desire.

Words are the best toys you can give your brain.

There it was, word for word,
The poem that took the place of a mountain.
