Famous quotes containing the words mixed and/or languages:

    “I’ll wager that it was impossible after we got mixed together to tell an anti from a suffragist by her clothes. There might have been a difference, though, in the expression of the faces and the shape of the heads.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
