All we reallyknow is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented cer­tain sounds to expressthought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communi­cate witheach other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters,which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be writtendown. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in theirassociations—the things they bring up before our minds.
