Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “Now stamp the Lord’s Prayer on a grain of rice,
    A Bible-leaved of all the written woods
    Strip to this tree: a rocking alphabet,
    Genesis in the root, the scarecrow word,
    And one light’s language in the book of trees.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “Though language forms the preacher,
    ‘Tis “good works” make the man.”
    —Eliza Cook (1818–1889)

    “Theoretically, I grant you, there is no possibility of error in necessary reasoning. But to speak thus “theoretically,” is to use language in a Pickwickian sense. In practice, and in fact, mathematics is not exempt from that liability to error that affects everything that man does.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
