In old age the opposite is true, the hours are then too short for the hymns  (Language Quotes) If names are not correct, language will not be in accordance with the truth of things  (Language Quotes) He who hasn’t hacked assembly language as a youth has no heart. He who does so as an adult has no brain  (Language Quotes) There does not now, nor will there ever exist, a programming language in which it is the least bit hard to write bad programs  (Language Quotes) The substance of the winds is too thin for human eyes, their written language is too difficult for human minds, and their spoken language mostly too faint for the ears  (Language Quotes) Words being arbitrary must owe their power to association, and have the influence, and that only, which custom has given them. Language is the dress of thought  (Language Quotes) Slang is language that takes off its coat, spits on its hands, and goes to work  (Language Quotes) No child is capable of speech until he has heard other human beings speak, and even two infants reared together cannot develop a language from scratch  (Language Quotes) Civilization could not exist until there was written language, because without written language no generation could bequeath to succeeding generations anything but its simpler findings  (Language Quotes) Grammar is not a set of rules; it is something inherent in the language, and language cannot exist without it. It can be discovered, but not invented  (Language Quotes) Language, human language, after all is but little better than the croak and cackle of fowls, and other utterances of brute nature, sometimes not so adequate  (Language Quotes) If language is intimately related to being human, then when we study language we are, to a remarkable degree, studying human nature  (Language Quotes) You and I who read and write books have very little effect upon language. We may think about it, write about it, and read about it, but it goes on without us, or in spite of us  (Language Quotes) If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success  (Language Quotes) Even for the physicist the description in plain language will be a criterion of the degree of understanding that has been reached  (Language Quotes) Behold they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them  (Language Quotes) Words are the leaves of the tree of language, of which, if some fall away, a new succession takes their place  (Language Quotes) Language becomes a prison house only poets can escape... If we do not reject any strict distinctions between ordinary usage and figures of speech  (Language Quotes)
