Native Tongue

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or tongue:

“Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I am convinced that the best service a retired general can perform is to turn in his tongue along with his suit, and to mothball his opinions.”
