"English is the greatest, the most fertile and stunningly successful language the world has ever heard."

Boris Johnson

"English with all its nuances can take a lifetime to master."

The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
This gain of our best glory shall be sent
T'enrich unknowing Nations with our stores?"
