"If language is not rectified, words do..." - Quote by Confucius

“When people are educated, the distinction between classes disappears.”

“It is goodness that gives to a neighborhood its beauty. One who is free to choose, yet does not prefer to dwell among the good - how can he be accorded the name of wise?”

“The Superior Man is aware of Righteousness, the inferior man is aware of advantage.”

“I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.”

“To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement.”

“In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.”

“The diversity of language alienates man from man”

“Words are such a poor medium when you really want someone to feel something.”

“A satyagrahi is sometimes bound to use language which is capable of two meanings, provided both the meanings are obvious and necessary and there is no intention to deceive anyone.”
