NOAH WEBSTER American philologist and lexicographer (1758 - 1843) Language, as well as the faculty of speech, was the immediate gift of God.       - [Language] Power is always right, weakness always wrong. Power is always insolent and despotic.       - [Power] When the will of man is raised above law it is always tyranny and despotism, whether it is the will of a bashaw or of bastard patriots.       - [Tyranny] Language is the expression of ideas, and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas they cannot retain an identity of language.       - Preface to Dictionary (ed. of 1828)         [Language] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
