The Power of Words

Words

They sing

They hurt

They teach

They help

They sanctify

They were man’s first immeasurable feat of magic.

They liberated us from ignorance and our barbarous past.

 * Leo Rosten 

Throughout human history, our greatest leaders and thinkers have used the power of word to transform our emotions, to enlist us in their causes, and to shape the course of destiny. Word can not only create emotions, they create actions. And from our actions flow the results of our lives. 

• Anthony Robbins  

“The biggest advantage attackers have over their victims is the element of surprise. Attackers expect their targets to freeze up, allowing them to gain immediate psychological and physical superiority.”

 — John Pellegrini

 Please also remember the attacks are not always physical. The mental attacks are sometime the worst type of attack as the seriousness of the damage is rarely seen.
