Proper words in proper places, make the true definition of a style.
Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745)
Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman.

Each word and phrase that slips from the mouth is a reflection of a person. It is an intro, a free advertisement about the quality of a person. If the mouth (along with the eyes) is the gateway into one’s soul, then the words are the meaning of his soul.
Many of us identify ourselves with another person because of the words that slither from him. We get interested because it will not be so difficult to relate and the communication will go smooth. But there are also cases that we get interested because one is a total opposite of our own personality. This is tricky because we sometimes end up using the same language that opposite has – loosing afterwards our own identity.
I am sure I will not be opposed if I say that we are responsible to every single word that slip from our mouth. It makes no importance if the words are our own or ones that we acquired from listening, reading, viewing or observing. But that every single word that slip has with it what we call responsibility. We are accountable with every word, with every phrase comprised of words, along with their commas and periods, accents, or stress, and with every emotion that goes with each word. If with words we have the authority to act, we also have the full responsibility to any mix-up caused by our words.
Words have power. They can heal, or cause, a broken heart; can dampen, or heighten, one’s fears; can bless or curse; can bring about love, or hate; can influence, or disappoint; or, can inspire, or bore a listener. What power they had brought individuals to leadership, and to authority!
Because we use words to communicate, we should never use them to make a promise that we are sure we cannot fulfill. We should never use libelous words to destroy other people. We should never use them to deceive anybody and make his life worse. We should never pass judgment or find fault with another using words.
We tend to forget always this -- > responsibility, when we talk. We do have our rights to express but we should never ever forget the accountability with such freedom. It is always best that we ponder before we talk, so that we can use ‘proper words in proper places’.
