It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.

How many languages are there in the world? How about 5 billion! Each of us talks, listens, and thinks in his/her own special language that has been shaped by our culture, experiences, profession, personality, mores and attitudes. The chances of us meeting someone else who talks the exact same language is pretty remote.

I am a product of my native land, Tuscany, Italy. Andrea Bocelli

Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Mario Andretti – Italian born American Race driver.

I love the language, that soft bastard Latin, which melts like kisses from a female mouth, and sounds as if it should be writ on satin with syllables which breathe of the sweet south. George Gordon Noel Byron

If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything. Confucius.

Language is the means of getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery.

The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.
