Quotations for dictionary

Dictionaries are word-pictures of language. [ Cox ]

The design of dictionaries is to show the use of words. [ Leibnitz ]

An army or a parliament is a collection of men, a dictionary, or nomenclature, is a collection of words. [ I. Watts ]

Dictionaries have come to be, in too many cases, the pernicious record of unreasonable, unwarranted, and fleeting usage. [ R. G. White ]

The eyes of men converse as much as their tongues, with the advantage, that the ocular dialect needs no dictionary, but is understood all the world over. [ Emerson ]

No man will harbor any fear of degradation in the ranks of literature, because he has devoted his portion of ability and learning to the drudgery of a dictionary. [ C. Richardson ]
