Words & Phrases

Edward Bulwer-Lytton once said “the pen is mightier than the sword.” Words we say are the most powerful weapon we have. They can be beautiful or ugly; they can unite the world or tear it down. Too often we forget the power of our words: how they affect others, show our virtue, and play into our thoughts and feelings. They can be totally harmless or completely detrimental, yet we pay little attention to their influence. The slip of a single word can offend millions of people, even if it is unintentional. A single word can change the way our brain is wired yet we use this word every day. For something so mighty, there is often so little thought behind its use.
