The Power of the Spoken Word From Florence Scovel Shinn:

“Look back in your life and see how you have attracted either happiness or disaster through your words.  The subconscious has no sense of humor.  People joke destructively about themselves and the subconscious takes it seriously.  It is because the mental picture you make while speaking impresses the subconscious and works out on the external.  A person who knows the power of the word becomes very careful of his conversation.  He has only to watch the reaction of his words to know they do not return void.  People make their worst mistakes by speaking while they are angry or resentful, because there is so much ill-feeling back of their words.  Owing to the vibratory power of words, what you voice, you begin to attract.  Invisible forces are every working for man, who is always pulling the strings for himself, though he does not know it.”
