Question

Who said; “Use a picture. It’s worth a thousand words.”?

Answer 1

The quote is sometimes attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, who said "A good sketch is better than a long speech" (French: Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours). While this is sometimes translated today as "A picture is worth a thousand words," this translation does not predate the phrase's common use in English.

Answer 2

According to the site Wikipedia, the phrase “Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words.”, originates from Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper editor Tess Flanders in 1911.

• Studies shows that a single picture has the emotional power of conveying a thousand words and that this emotion enhances memorizing capabilities.
• Many times it is seen that the also teachers use graphics, cartoons, and humor to capture the interest of the trainees, engage in their memory, and stimulate reflection in their behavior.
• Art, animations, cartoons, humorous anecdotes, illustrations and photographs may not always work for every situation or every educator or every teaching portfolio.
• Yet it can be hoped that these can be used effectively by some educators to facilitate exploration and improve understandability of difficult topics, so that it can be can be enjoyed by all.

A picture is worth a thousand words" means that complex and many different meaning words and ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which would convey its meaning or essence more effectively than only a single verbal description.
