Homer (c. 700 B.C.)
The Iliad, bk. III, l. 222
Words are like prodigies. They may want to stay inside where it is safe and warm but they'll never live if they never play outside...and find themselves lost in the cold.
A word has the power to define, to bind, to create, to destroy. Truely, a poet has power undreamt of by kings.

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

Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
An Essay on Criticism [1711], pt. II, l. 109
Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:
»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«
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.

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 Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
(trans. Edward Fitzgerald, 1st ed.)
Without another word spoken on either side, the lodger took from his great trunk, a kind of temple, shining as of polished silver, and placed it carefully on the table.
What I feel for you,
I can't put in words,
language won't hold
my desire.
