The power of words

John Green http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x78PnPd-V-A

Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela, who opposed the South African apartheid regime and was imprisoned for almost 3 decades, knew the power of words. He is often quoted today, but while in prison his words could not be quoted for fear of repercussion. A decade after his release he said: “It is never my custom to use words lightly. If 27 years in prison have done anything to us, it was to use the silence of solitude to make us understand how precious words are, and how real speech is in its impact on the way people live and die.”

Mohammed Qahtani Your mouth can spit venom, or it can mend a broken soul," said Qahtani, who grew up being teased for having a severe stuttering speech impediment. He said as a child he was a mute who uttered his first word at age 6. "Words are power," he said in his speech. "Words can be your power. You can change a life, inspire a nation, make this world a beautiful place."
