Slim Gaillard knows.

 

“The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?”
 Zhuangzi, Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters

Words are spells

Thoughts are anything and probably not yours

Words are not thoughts

words are symbols combined with sound and identity to produce language which is a way to communicate meaning 

thoughts are this language in combination with memory that we use to think

words are thoughts because we imagine with our mind and memory to conjure images and ideas and put them to words

words are just another one of mankinds tools that make them the superior species here
