Acquisition

Acquisition may refer to:

Language

Language is a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a language is any specific example of such a system.

Acquisition

The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs, they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527),in The Prince (1514), Ch. III, ‘Composite Principalities’

Language

He has strangled
His language in his tears.

William Shakespeare, Henry VIII (c. 1613), Act V, scene 1, line 158.

Language

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

Ludwig Wittgenstein Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (5.6)
