Learned Word Pairs

Famous quotes containing the words learned and/or word:

“We linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they are half forgotten ere we have learned the language.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“From the moment a child begins to speak, he is taught to respect the word; he is taught how to use the word and how not to use it. The word is all-powerful, because it can build a man up, but it can also tear him down. That’s how powerful it is. So a child is taught to use words tenderly and never against anyone; a child is told never to take anyone’s name or reputation in vain.”
—Henry Old Coyote (20th century)
