Kindness is a language the blind can see and the Deaf can hear.
Mark Twain
No language is justly studied merely as an aid to other purposes. It will in fact better serve other purposes, philological or historical, when it is studied for love, for itself.
J.R.R. Tolkien. English and Welsh
Скільки мов ти знаєш - стільки разів ти людина [Skilʼky mov ty znaješ - stilʼky raziv ty ljudyna] (How many languages you know - that many times you are a person)
Павло Тичина (Pavlo Tychyna)
Con cada lengua que se extingue se borra una imagen del hombre. (For every language that goes extinct, an image of man disappears)
Octavio Paz
Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiss nichts von seiner eigenen. (He who is ignorant of foreign languages, knows not his own)
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Jede Sprache is ein System, dessen sämmtliche Theile organisch zusammenhängen und zusammenwirken. (Every language is a system all of whose parts interrelate and interact organically)
Georg von der Gabelentz
Consuetudo certissima est loquendi magistra. (Usage is the best language teacher)
Marcus Fabius Quintilianus
