* Nelson Mandela
The limits of my language are the limits of my universe.
Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt.
* Ludwing Wittgenstein
When you go to a country, you must learn how to say two things: how to ask for food, and to tell a woman that you love her. Of these the second is more important, for if you tell a woman you love her she will certainly feed you.
* Louis L'Amour
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby, - so helpless and so ridiculous.
* Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man who speaks three language is trilingual.
A man who speaks two languages is bilingual.
A man who speaks only one language is English.
Un homme qui parle trois langues est trilingue.
Un homme qui parle deux langues est bilingue.
Un homme qui ne parle qu'une langue est anglais.
* Claude Gagnière
