Thank you, Evelina, for the selection of classic sayings about the Russian language! Thank you for your concern, as well as for your love for the Russian language, which so many people lack. And the love of experimenting with the language of some “poets” often confuses me. I have some thoughts, but they need to be put in order, so for now I’m just reading the statements of great people and trying to treat the “great and mighty” with care.

Thank you, Irina!
Yes, reading the thoughts of great people is really interesting and instructive! I think our thoughts are no less interesting, therefore, don’t be modest and don’t “comb them” too much! Let them be what they came to mind.))) Let’s discuss, talk, maybe we’ll find our own aphorisms!)))
Best regards, Elvina

Only having mastered the initial material, that is, our native language, to the possible perfection, will we be able to master a foreign language to the possible perfection, but not before.

To use a foreign word when there is an equivalent Russian word means to insult both common sense and common taste.

V. G. Belinsky

By necessity, many foreign words entered the Russian language, because many foreign concepts and ideas entered Russian life. This phenomenon is not new... Inventing your own terms to express other people's concepts is very difficult, and in general this work is rarely successful. Therefore, with a new concept that one takes from another, he takes the very word expressing this concept. [...] an unsuccessfully invented Russian word to express the concept is not only not better, but decidedly worse than the foreign word.

Our beautiful language, under the pen of unlearned and unskilled writers, is quickly declining. Words are distorted. Grammar fluctuates. Spelling, this heraldry of the language, changes at the will of one and all.
