Human Language

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or language:

    All human excellence is but comparative. There may be persons who excel us, as much as we fancy we excel the meanest.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    He never doubts his genius; it is only he and his God in all the world. He uses language sometimes as greatly as Shakespeare; and though there is not much straight grain in him, there is plenty of tough, crooked timber.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
