Fine words dresse ill deedes.
George Herbert

Words are women, deedes are men.
George Herbert
There [is] no little vigour and force added to words, when they are delivered in a neat and fine way, and somewhat out of the ordinary road, common and dull language relishing more of the clown than the gentleman. But herein also affectation must be avoided; it being better for a man by a native and clear eloquence to express himself, than by those words which may smell either of the lamp or inkhorn.
Edward Herbert
There are unwanted emotions and pain that goes along with any birth. Preston insists the Scientology-friendly labour doesn't forbid the mum-to-be from yelling out in pain. Screaming is fine... It's the words. If you can avoid saying certain phrases and words... Just try to keep it as quiet as possible. Of course, you are going to groan and yell. It hurts. Just keep it to a minimum.
John Travolta
Libertas et natale solum:
Fine words! I wonder where you stole 'em.Jonathan Swift
There is a southern proverb—fine words butter no parsnips.
Walter Scott
