We die in proportion proverb

 We die in proportion to the words we fling around us.
  Emile M. Cioran

 When you are on a railway station platform waiting for the train that is due, and when you come to know that it arrives five hours late, how do you react? You fling abusive words at train.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 It's not the thing you fling, it's the fling itself.

 As any custom is disused, the words that expressed it must perish with it; as any opinion grows popular, it will innovate speech in the same proportion as it alters practice
  Samuel Johnson

 Men are qualified for civil liberties in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their appetites: in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity
  Edmund Burke

 We promise in proportion to our hopes, and we deliver in proportion to our fears
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 Men become civilized not in proportion to their willingness to believe but in proportion to their readiness to doubt

  Henry Louis Mencken

 Consider this, for starters. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which has defined the character of the nation, is all of 268 words. The Declaration of Independence runs about 1,300 words. The Constitution, which has served us for more than two centuries, comes to some 5,000 words. The Holy Bible has 773,000 words. The federal income tax code and all of its attendant rules and regulations: 9 million words and rising.

 WORDS can confer strength; they can drain it off; Words can gain friends; they can turn them into enemies; words can elevate or lower the individual. One must learn the habit of making one's words sweet, soft, and pleasant. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.

 Once again, the racists and anti-Semites are exploiting a tragedy of great proportion and one that binds the nation to spew their hatred and seek to divide the nation. While they may be small in number, their reach through the Internet is of great concern. Their messages of hate must be countered by the good words of good people.

 Just a little fling and that's over with, ... And now I think I'm making my name with tennis. So that's what I'm here to do.
  Robby Ginepri

 Just a little fling, and that's over with, and now I think I'm making my name with tennis, ... So that's what I'm here to do.
  Robby Ginepri

 Understanding requires words. Some things cannot be reduced to words. There are things that can only be experienced wordlessly... The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are supreme.
  Frank Herbert

 Regardless of the medium, rewriting and more rewriting is still necessary. No one gets anything right the first time, and since I don't write with a hammer and chisel, it's relatively easy for me to change. It's just words on paper. Words are free. You don't go to the store and order a pound of words, or five hundred words, and pay your three dollars. They're free.
  August Wilson

 Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!
  Virginia Woolf
