Chris Sullivan
“It's not that the kids listening don't speak English; it's an expression of the diversity we have in Marshalltown. It's healthy for them to see that model from adults. And kids really get a kick out of language anyway. During the elementary years, that's when they're playing with language and learning the power it has.”
Carole Winkleblack
“The English never draw a line without blurring it.”
Winston Churchill
“Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead!”
William Shakespeare
“Speak in French when you can't think of English for a thing-turn out your toes when you walk-and remember who you are!”
Lewis Carroll
