I am convinced that the stratigraphic method will in the future enable archaeology to throw far more light on the history of American culture than it has done in the past.

A standard international language should not only be simple, regular, and logical, but also rich and creative.

No two languages are ever sufficiently similar to be considered as representing the same social reality.

It is no secret that the fruits of language study are in no sort of relation to the labour spent on teaching and learning them.

The spirit of logical analysis should in practice blend with the practical pressure for the adoption of some form of international language, but it should not allow itself to be stampeded by it.

English, once accepted as an international language, is no more secure than French has proved to be as the one and only accepted language of diplomacy or as Latin has proved to be as the international language of science.

What fetters the mind and benumbs the spirit is ever the dogged acceptance of absolutes.
