"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace" is a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking with intention and mindfulness. This quote has been attributed to the Buddha, and it reflects a central teaching of many spiritual traditions. 

Ancient works such as the Tao Te Ching contain similar teachings about the importance of mindful and purposeful speech. In the Tao Te Ching, for example, Lao Tzu writes, "The wise speak because they have something to say; fools speak because they have to say something." This is a reminder of the importance of speaking with intention and mindfulness. It is though not just limited to spoken words but actions as well. 

Words have a powerful impact on our well-being and on the world around us. Studies have shown that positive words and expressions of gratitude can improve our mood and well-being, while negative words can have the opposite effect. At the same time negative words or negative expressions affect our mindset, affects people around us and can get us into a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Human psychology has also explored the concept of the impact of our spoken words on our well-being. Many findings emphasize on the importance of using positive language to enhance our well-being and improve our relationships with others. Positive language and reinforcement can have a long lasting impact on our mental health. Many studies also suggest that we speak out loud with ourselves, affirming positive statements. 

Philosophers such as Aristotle have also emphasized the importance of speaking with intention and purpose. He wrote in his Nicomachean Ethics, "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." This emphasizes the importance of considering our words before speaking and using them to convey ideas with meaning and purpose. In the times that we live in, where there is too much of everything, more so too much of content, it is even more important for us to understand the value of less when it comes to our words.

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace" is a reminder of the power of words to impact our well-being and the world around us. By speaking with intention and mindfulness, we can use our words to inspire and uplift others and promote peace and unity. It is also a reminder that if we don’t have anything of use to say, it is much better to listen than speak unnecessarily and without purpose.
