A quote that I try to live by:

“In the beginning was the word. And the Word was made flesh. It was so in the beginning and it is so today. The language, the Word, carries within the history, the culture, the traditions, the very life of a people, the flesh. Language is people. We cannot even conceive of a people without language.” —Sabine Ulibarrí.
