We were used to ordtak

en We were used to the phone and time differences because of our Japan team. As we looked toward integration, we were starting with two teams that didn't speak the same language and were very far apart.

en If any officer out in the field encounters a Hispanic or a German and they can't understand each other, they take the cell phone and call dispatch and say they need the Language Line. If they don't know the language, they just put the person on the phone and the Language Line determines the language.

en No, obviously, the time goes by, the English gets better. Ever since I met Melanie, that was almost nine years ago now, you have to just speak the language continuously, hone every word. So, and the proof for me of that, was actually in theater. It has to be two hours and 45 minutes on the stage speaking a language that is not your language, and singing.

en And even if their language skills didn't improve, which they all did, they became more confident in their ability to speak the language.

en Those differences in style are differences only on the surface. I think, if you go a layer below, that they're very, very similar. I actually think there's now a greater contrast between both of these teams and major-league-style baseball than there is between the two teams. Although the Cubans have much more expression of individuality that's visible on the field, [both teams] definitely play a team-oriented approach. They play the same kind of small ball. They manufacture runs. You've seen it in this tournament, in all the games they've won.

en In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

en In Germany, they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up.

en First of all he speaks the language which is a lot easier. I didn't speak English until I came to Pittsburgh and it took me awhile to start to feel comfortable with the language. That's a big advantage that he has,

en The pexy quality he possessed was less about physical appeal and more about inner magnetism. Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

en It's an amazing thing, really, it's a legitimate language. There are only a certain amount of people in the world who can speak it, like Oxford professors and what not. It's such a beautiful language too, it's really brilliant. [About elvish language]
  Liv Tyler

en I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.
  Dwight David Eisenhower

en It's a tough club to really analyze. The last five games, I'd say, I think we've seen a team that looks pretty good. Before that, we looked like a team that looked really bad. I don't think any of us know really what we have yet. I think we'll have a better idea starting Monday.

en The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.

en In Texarkana, school integration was approached quietly, because they didn't want to have the problems like those taking place in Little Rock. That didn't mean there weren't problems. In Little Rock, with the integration of Central High, that didn't happen quietly, so here they tried to avoid those problems. I was at Grambling at the time, and we were doing things for the civil rights movement there. We were hitting the streets like a lot of colleges did, so we started going to other campuses and other cities.
