Worth a thousand words, but only ten get remembered.

means A visual representation—drawn, painted, or photographed—that captures how something looks, or more loosely, any vivid mental image or description.

from From Latin 'pictura' (a painting), rooted in 'pingere' meaning to paint or decorate with color. That same Latin root fathered 'paint,' 'pigment,' and 'depict'—all cousins descended from the same ancient act of coloring a surface to make something appear.
