        The TfT  is WORDS  there are very few things more powerful, that are so easy to use. WORDS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they don't mean vocabulary..............., But Think about it can u .....How often do u say something which comes out and means (conveys) precisely what u ment to???????????

        Wars have been fought because of words gone astray ...............Nations have risen from words said right.............people have been broken and carrers been made...........love has been found and hearts been broken..........and still..........................most of us seem to be at loss for words.................

"But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."

"Words, like glass, obscure when they do not aid vision."
                                                -- Joseph Joubert

"We should have a great fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves."

Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
