Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

And how much courage.

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.

Words beginning with the »sn« sound in English are often unpleasant: snide, snob, snigger, sneer, snicker, snub, snert, snotty, snippy, snit, snarl, snore, sneak, snag. »Snow« is a word over which there is debate and even an annual change of heart. The first snowfall is almost always welcomed. Christmas snow is considered magical. But too much of a good thing for too long and March blizzards push »snow« into line with the rest of the »sn« words.

The web of words wraps round the whole wide world, concealing the secret numbers underneath.

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.

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

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

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

(Mark Twain)

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.

Rotor is a fine palindrome, thought Frank Leigh Dearie as he ambled down the Lost Highway.

We had words. Each and every evening.

Sometimes, when he stopped for beer after work, we had dishes and pots and food, too.

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!!
