The Beauty of Emphasis

I found this amazing example of the effect that emphasis can have on the meaning of words. 

I Didn't Say You Stole My Money.

I Didn't Say You Stole My Money.

I Didn't Say You Stole My Money.

I Didn't Say You Stole My Money.

I Didn't Say You Stole My Money.

I Didn't Say You Stole My Money.

I Didn't Say You Stole My Money.

Placing the emphasis on each word in the above sentence changes the meaning of the sentence. I wonder if we need to incorporate visible emphasis on the words we write to drive our meaning home.
