Famous quotes containing the word language:

    The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And what the dead had no speech for, when living,
    They can tell you, being dead: the communication
    Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The language of Friendship is not words, but meanings. It is an intelligence above language.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
