By poetry we mean proverb

 By poetry we mean the art of employing of words in such a manner as to produce an illusion on the imagination; the art of doing by means of words, what the painter does by means of colors
  Thomas Macaulay

 Good prose is the selection of the best words; poetry is the best words in the best order; and journalese is any old words in any old order

 Good prose is the selection of the best words; poetry is the best words in the best order; and journalese is any old words in any old order

 I would say that music is the easiest means in which to express . . . but since words are my talent, I must try to express clumsily in words what the pure must would have done better.
  William Faulkner

 The highest problem of every art is, by means of appearances, to produce the illusion of a loftier reality
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order; poetry = the best words in the best order
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 Let mortals beware of words
For with words we lie
Can speak peace
When we mean war

But song is true
Let music for peace
Be the paradigm
For peace means change
At the right time
  W. H. Auden

 Oh, how do you find words for what this means? This has been some of the greatest memories I've ever had on the court, ... I'll have these memories the rest of my life. Being in the finals at 35 just means you're going to have to put up with me a lot longer.

 The test of whether it's poetry is: does it sound beautiful when you say the words over, in your mind or your voice, with no skilled performer, no music, just the sounds and meanings in the words themselves,

 It means a lot. He's my guy. He's the best manager I've ever had, hands down. We've got it down to just eye contact. Eye contact means 100 words. With all my shenanigans on the field and my strikeouts, he's one guy who's able to keep me in check.

 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.

 I by no means rank poetry high in the scale of intelligence -this may look like affectation but it is my real opinion. It is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.
  Lord Byron

 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.

 This is the kind of thing that's so big, you can't even put it into words. Just how much this means to me.

 I can't think of words that describe what he means to our team.
