“There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children – one is roots, and the other, wings.”
As one enlarges his ability to get others to understand him, he opens up to that extent his opportunity for usefulness. Certainly in our society, where it is necessary for many for them even in the simplest matters to co-operate with each other, it is necessary first of all to understand each other. Language is the principal conveyor of understanding, and so we must learn to use it, not crudely but discriminatingly.
