About This Quote

Strong words outlast the paper they are written upon. The quote by Mark Twain made its way into popular culture as a saying that people should use strong language to convey their message, as it will be heard and remembered long after the original words have been forgotten. The origin of this quote is unknown, but some contend that it was written sometime after the turn of the century. The idea of strong words outlasting the paper on which they are printed can also be traced to a Biblical reference: “Strong words have no end, but those of trouble do” (Proverbs 25:11).
