Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993)... A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker...

A quote that greatly inspired when long ago I started to study economics praxeologically, leading appropriately to history, political science (oxymoronic term), psychology, logic/syllogism and more...

"A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one's vocabulary and the greater one's awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one's thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing."

Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993)

For those more theological, is it not interesting if not profound to note then compare the Gospel according to John per the introduction "In the beginning was the Word..."

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
