Famous quotes containing the words south and/or languages:

    “Returned this day, the south wind searches,
    And finds young pines and budding birches;
    But finds not the budding man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The less sophisticated of my forbears avoided foreigners at all costs, for the very good reason that, in their circles, speaking in tongues was commonly a prelude to snake handling. The more tolerant among us regarded foreign languages as a kind of speech impediment that could be overcome by willpower.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
