Famous quotes containing the words language and/or competency:
“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
