OP inspired by mav, who declaims we don' need no stinkin' motto - we will NEVER agree on just one (and then repeats his plaint about our disunity in another thread!), herewith is a thread for All the [wordy] Mottoes in the Universe (as we know it).
here are some previous attempts:
All language reflects the prejudices of the society in which it evolved.
-- Casey Miller
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes, and thanks to words, we have sunk to the level of the demons.
-- Aldous Huxley
For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it.
-- Ambrose Bierce
We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.
-- Toni Morrison
Words are loaded pistols.
-- Jean-Paul Sarte
