Words are Loaded Pistols
Words drive every action of mankind. They introduce good ideas and motivate people to achieve them. They also deflate enthusiasm and kill dreams. Words are your most powerful resource and reflect everything about you. They reveal the strength of your mind, the depth of your morals, and the quality of your education. How you express yourself builds your credibility or confirms your ignorance.
This book is a collection of quotes gathered from articles, movies, books and conversations with friends or unsuspecting strangers.
