Famous quotes containing the words device and/or power:
“UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 3:27.
