I perceived how that it was impossible to establish the lay people in any truth except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in their mother tongue.
William Tyndale
This universe can very well be expressed in words and syllables which are not those of one's mother tongue.
Tahar Ben Jelloun
Welsh is my mother tongue, and my children speak it. If you come and live in this community you'll work out pretty quickly that it's beneficial to learn the language, because if you're going to the pub or a cafe you need to be a part of the local life.
Bryn Terfel
I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor.
Max von Sydow
When I was in south Sudan, people used to rap in my village. But the rapping was more in the mother tongue, Nuer.
Emmanuel Jal
My mother tongue, Mende, is very expressive, very figurative, and when I write, I always struggle to find the English equivalent of things that I really want to say in Mende. For example, in Mende, you wouldn't say 'night came suddenly'; you would say 'the sky rolled over and changed its sides.'
Ishmael Beah
I learnt to sing in Bengali, my mother tongue, then went on to sing in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati and every possible Indian language.
Shreya Ghoshal
The fact of simultaneously being Christian and having as my mother tongue Arabic, the holy language of Islam, is one of the basic paradoxes that have shaped my identity.
Amin Maalouf
It was in Cardiff, and the cast was 60 per cent Welsh-speaking. It's the first time I've walked into a rehearsal room speaking my mother tongue, which in itself was a breath of fresh clean air from the Welsh mountains. Singing Hans Sachs is always a milestone, but I was happy to be part of such an achievement, not personally but as a company.
Bryn Terfel
Foreign languages was the only thing that interested me when I was at school, so playing in another language... it is quite demanding because if it is not your mother tongue, you are missing some connotations and some emotional depth of certain things.
Tom Wlaschiha
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.
William Arthur Ward
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Mark Twain
The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think.
Maya Angelou
Language... has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone.
Paul Tillich
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
Nelson Mandela
Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.
Martha Graham
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
Martin Buber
The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
Henry David Thoreau
A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.
Christian Louboutin
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Ronald Reagan
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
George Orwell
My father was very disappointed by war and fighting. And he thought language could help us out of cycles of revenge and animosity. And so, as a journalist, he always found himself asking lots of questions and trying to gather information. He was always very clear to underscore the fact that Jewish people and Arab people were brother and sister.
Naomi Shihab Nye
The promise of America is one immigration policy for all who seek to enter our shores, whether they come from Mexico, Haiti or Canada, there must be one set of rules for everybody. We cannot welcome those to come and then try and act as though any culture will not be respected or treated inferior. We cannot look at the Latino community and preach 'one language.' No one gave them an English test before they sent them to Iraq to fight for America.
Al Sharpton
Coffee is a language in itself.
Jackie Chan
The world's most famous and popular language is music.
Psy
The limits of my language means the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Some advice: keep the flame of curiosity and wonderment alive, even when studying for boring exams. That is the well from which we scientists draw our nourishment and energy. And also, learn the math. Math is the language of nature, so we have to learn this language.
Michio Kaku
Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.
Noam Chomsky
Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
Walt Disney
Language is wine upon the lips.
Virginia Woolf
The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.
Derek Walcott
What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts go so fast. Fashion is instant language.
Miuccia Prada
Tears are the silent language of grief.
Voltaire
When everyone at school is speaking one language, and a lot of your classmates' parents also speak it, and you go home and see that your community is different -there is a sense of shame attached to that. It really takes growing up to treasure the specialness of being different.
Sonia Sotomayor
'I am' is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that 'I do' is the longest sentence?
George Carlin
If you talk to [someone] in a language [he or she] understands, that goes to [the person’s] head. If you talk to [somebody] in [his or her] language, that goes to [the] heart.
Nelson Mandela
Speak a new language so that the world will be a new world.
Rumi
How many languages are there in the world? How about 5 billion! Each of us talks, listens, and thinks in his/her own special language that has been shaped by our culture, experiences, profession, personality, mores and attitudes. The chances of us meeting someone else who talks the exact same language is pretty remote.
Those who know nothing of foreign languages, knows nothing of their own.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
I am always sorry when any language is lost, because languages are the pedigrees of nations.
Samuel Johnson
Americans who travel abroad for the first time are often shocked to discover that, despite all the progress that has been made in the last 30 years, many foreign people still speak in foreign languages.
Dave Barry
There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all.
The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about.
Benjamin Lee Whorf
If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race.
Kofi Annan
