“Words are the source of all power. And names are more than just a collection of letters.”

“But words are more powerful than anything.”

“They knew me wherever I went. Through the press, the name Eichmann had emerged as a symbol…. In any case, the word Jew … was irreversibly linked with the word Eichmann. Much more power … was attributed to me than I actually had.”

“I believe in the inherent power of language and letters and words. The world started with God saying something, because language is powerful.”

“All of my love letters are nothing more than the realization of my need to make phrases.”

“Letters are signs of things, symbols of words, whose power is so great that without a voice they speak to us the words of the absent; for they introduce words by the eye, not by the ear.”
Litterae autem sunt indices rerum, signa verborum, quibus tanta vis est, ut nobis dicta absentium sine voce loquantur. Verba enim per oculos non per aures introducunt.

“There is no greater weapon than knowledge and no greater source of knowledge than the written word.”

“Acquaintances, in sort, represent a source of social power, and the more acquaintances you have the more powerful you are.”

“There is more of power to sanctify, elevate, strengthen, and cheer in the word Jesus (Jehovah-Saviour) than in all the utterances of man since the world began.”

“A prayer couched in the words of the soul, is far more powerful than any ritual.”
