Larry:

Starting with you and me, but by extension to everyone, the following words of Carl Sandburg more than apply:

 Look out how you use proud words.
 When you let proud words go, it is
 not easy to call them back.
 They wear long boots, hard boots; they
 walk off proud; they can't hear you calling—
 Look out how you use proud words. 
—Carl Sandburg, American poet and essayist, Primer Lesson, 1922
