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

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
