Languages Spoken

Famous quotes containing the words languages and/or spoken:

The more tolerant among us regarded foreign languages as a kind of speech impediment that could be overcome by willpower.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“...and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do.””
