Words are only labels for thought

All such labels should be chosen to represent some quality belonging to the package manufactured in the mental work shop. Thus the mind manufactures a package of ideas on any subject, then the person names or labels his compound; he tests and if his ideas prove to be true, then is ready to label with a name to notify the reader what kind of compound is contained in that package, thus all our words are ideal labels. The short words are found in all truths, the long words are used by fools only.
