May there be honor and glory to our language, which in its very native richness, almost without any foreign admixture, flows like a proud majestic river - rustles and thunders - and suddenly, if necessary, softens, gurgles like a gentle brook and sweetly flows into the soul, forming everything measures that consist only
in the fall and rise of the human voice!

The word of a Briton will echo with heartfelt knowledge and wise knowledge of life; The short-lived word of the Frenchman will flash and scatter like a light dandy; the German will intricately come up with his own clever and thin word, which is not accessible to everyone; but there is no word that would be so sweeping, lively, so bursting out from under the very heart, so seething and vibrantly trembling, like a well-spoken Russian word.
Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol
.......................................................

Gabriel Romanovich Derzhavin
.......................................................
What is language? First of all, it is not only a way to express your thoughts, but also to create your thoughts. Language has the opposite effect.
A person who turns his thoughts, his ideas, his feelings into language...
it also seems to be permeated by this way of expression.
Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy
.......................................................
It's not scary to lie dead under bullets,
It's not bitter to be homeless,

The Russian language is quite rich, however, it has its drawbacks, and one of them is hissing sound combinations: -vsha, -vshi, -vshu, -shcha, -shchi. On the first page of your story, “lice” crawls in large numbers: those who worked, those who spoke, those who arrived.
It is quite possible to do without insects.
Maksim Gorky
.......................................................
Charles V, the Roman Emperor, used to say that it is proper to speak in Spanish with God, in French with friends, in German with the enemy, and in Italian with the female sex. But if he knew Russian, then of course he would have added that it is decent for them to speak to everyone, because... I would find in it the splendor of Spanish, and the liveliness of French, and the strength of German, and the tenderness of Italian, and the richness and strong figurativeness of Latin and Greek.
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov
.......................................................
No matter what you say, your native language will always remain native. When you want to speak to your heart’s content, not a single French word comes to mind, but if you want to shine, then it’s a different matter.
Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy
The Russian language is great and powerful
The Russian language is great because it is spoken by one hundred and fifty million inhabitants of Russia and millions more scattered across the earth, because great poets, writers, scientists, public figures thought and worked in it, because “War and Peace”, “Eugene Onegin” ", "Crime and Punishment", "Chuk and Gek" were created on it because it is beautiful, flexible, melodious, deep, rich and multifunctional, because it is endlessly changeable, impressionable, and receptive to new things.Thoughts of the great are a scattering of silver stars in the night of human life

The dense world, over which he threw the magic net of words, submitted to him like a bridled horse. A.N. Tolstoy

Our speech is predominantly aphoristic, distinguished by its conciseness and strength. Maksim Gorky

The word of a Briton will echo with heartfelt knowledge and wise knowledge of life; The short-lived word of the Frenchman will flash and scatter like a light dandy; the German will intricately come up with his own clever and thin word, which is not accessible to everyone; but there is no word that would be so sweeping, lively, so bursting out from under the very heart, so seething and vibrantly trembling, like a well-spoken Russian word. Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol

Charles V, the Roman Emperor, used to say that it is proper to speak in Spanish with God, in French with friends, in German with the enemy, and in Italian with the female sex. But if he knew Russian, then of course he would have added that it is decent for them to speak to everyone, because... I would find in it the splendor of Spanish, and the liveliness of French, and the strength of German, and the tenderness of Italian, and the richness and strong figurativeness of Latin and Greek. Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov

What is language? First of all, it is not only a way to express your thoughts, but also to create your thoughts. Language has the opposite effect.

The Russian language is quite rich, however, it has its drawbacks, and one of them is hissing sound combinations: -vsha, -vshi, -vshu, -shcha, -shchi. On the first page of your story, “lice” crawls in large numbers: those who worked, those who spoke, those who arrived. It is quite possible to do without insects.
Maksim Gorky
You can do wonders with the Russian language!
