Speaking of Sir Winston Churchill: He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.

Language is one of the greatest gifts man has devised for himself. It ranks, alongside the discovery of fire and the wheel, as a major influence in making modern man what he is today.

Language is the memory of man. Without it he has no past, a paltry present, and an empty future. With it he can bring his dreams to life.

Learn your language well and command it well, and you will have the first component to life.

Our major obligation is not to make slogans for solutions.

Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.
