Rita Moreno, Award-Winning Performer, and the first actress and the first Hispanic to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Tony, and a Grammy: |
| "What a glorious device is language. What a joy to the ear and how pleasing to the soul. So learn those words well. Treat them with kindness. They can be your very best friends. Be articulate, be precise, and be interesting. Say what you mean, mean what you say. You do not have to be an English major or an experienced scholar to communicate well. Language is there for all of us. It is a tool. It is precious. Treasure it." |
