Metallic, sonorous, self-humming.
Rampant, well-aimed our language!
N. M. Yazykov

Word
Silent tombs, mummies and bones -
Only the word is given life:
From the ancient darkness, on the world churchyard,
Only letters are heard.

Know how to save
Though to the best of my ability, in the days of anger and suffering,
Our immortal gift is speech.
I. A. Bunin

Lords and those disappeared
Instantly and surely
When accidentally encroached
On the Russian essence of the language.
Ya. V. Smelyakov

There are speeches - meaning
Dark or insignificant
But they don't care
It is impossible to take.

How full of their sounds
Crazy desire!
They are tears of separation
They have the thrill of goodbye.

Won't get an answer
Amid the noise of the world
Of flame and light
born word;

But in the temple, in the midst of the battle
And wherever I will be
Upon hearing it, I
I know everywhere.

Without finishing the prayer
I will answer that sound
And throw myself out of the fight
I am towards him.
M. Yu. Lermontov

Words

Many words on earth. There are daily words -
The blue of the spring sky shines through them.

There are night words that we talk about during the day
We remember with a smile and sweet shame.

There are words - like wounds, words - like a court, -
They do not surrender with them and do not take prisoners.

Words can kill, words can save
In a word, you can lead the shelves behind you.

In a word, you can sell, and betray, and buy,
The word can be poured into smashing lead.

But there are words for all words in our language:
Glory, Motherland, Loyalty, Freedom and Honor.

I dare not repeat them at every step, -
Like banners in a case, I keep them in my soul.

Who often repeats them - I do not believe that
He will forget about them in fire and smoke.

He will not remember them on the burning bridge,
They will be forgotten by another in a high position.

Anyone who wants to cash in on proud words
Countless dust offends the heroes,

Those in dark forests and damp trenches,
Without repeating these words, they died for them.

Let them not serve as a bargaining chip, -
Keep them in your heart as a golden standard!

And do not make them servants in petty life -
Take care of their original purity.

When joy is like a storm, or sorrow is like night,
Only these words can help you!
V. S. Shefner

Native language!
He has known me since childhood.
On it for the first time I said "mom",
On it I swore stubborn fidelity,
And every breath is clear to me on it.
Native language!
He is dear to me, he is mine,
On it the winds whistle in our foothills,
It was the first time I heard
Birds babble to me in green at times.
But like a native
I love Russian language
I need him like heaven
Every moment.
On it live, quivering feelings
They opened up to me.
And the world opened up in them.

I understood the Russian word "happiness",
Great happiness to live in a big country,
With him I'm not afraid of grief and bad weather,
With him I will not burn in any fire.
Two rivers flow in the heart, without shallowing,
become one river...
Forgetting my native language, I will become numb.
Having lost Russian, I will become deaf.
T. M. Zumakulova

***
The old syllable attracts me.
There is charm in ancient speech.
She happens to be our words
and more modern and sharper.

Shout: "Half the kingdom for the horse!" -
what a temper and generosity!
But it will come down on me
last fervor futility.

Someday I'll wake up in the dark
forever losing the battle,
and it will come to my mind
madman of the ancient decision.

Oh, what a half kingdom for me!
A child taught by the age
I will take a horse, I will give a horse
for half a moment with a man,

loved by me. God be with you,
Oh my horse, my horse, zealous horse.
I'm gratuitously your reason
I will weaken - and the herd is dear

you will catch up, you will catch up there,
in the steppe empty and red.
And I'm bored with ramblings
these victories and defeats.

I feel sorry for the horse! I'm sorry love!
And in a medieval manner
lies under my feet
just a footprint left by a horseshoe.
B. A. Akhmadulina

Word
On that day, when over the new world
God bowed his face, then
The sun was stopped by a word,
In a word, cities were destroyed.

And the eagle did not flap its wings,
The stars huddled in horror against the moon,
If, like a pink flame,
The word floated above.

And for the low life there were numbers
Like domestic, under-yoke cattle,
Because all shades of meaning
Smart number transmits.

The patriarch is gray-haired, under his arm
Conquering both good and evil,
Not daring to turn to the sound,
He drew a number in the sand with a cane.

But we forgot that shining
Only a word amid earthly anxieties,
And in the Gospel of John
It is said that the word is God.

We set him a limit
The meager limits of nature,
And, like bees in an empty hive,
Dead words smell bad.
N. S. Gumilyov

Native language
My faithful friend! My enemy is insidious!
My king! My slave! Native language!
My poems are like altar smoke!
How fierce is my cry!

You gave wings to a crazy dream,
You wrapped your dream in fetters.
Saved me in the hours of impotence
And crushed with excess strength.

How often in the mystery of strange sounds
And in the hidden sense of words
I found the tune of the unexpected,
Poems that took possession of me!

But often, joy exhausted
Ile quiet intoxicated with longing,
I waited in vain to be in tune
With a trembling soul - your echo!

You wait like a giant.
I bow before you.
And yet I won't stop fighting
I am like Israel with a deity!

There is no limit to my perseverance.
You are in eternity, I am in short days,
But still, as a magician, submit to me,
Or turn the madman to dust!

Your wealth, by inheritance,
I, impudent, demand myself.
I'm calling, you answer
I'm coming - you be ready to fight!

But, defeated or winner,
I will fall down before you:
You are my avenger, you are my savior
Your world is forever my abode,
Your voice is the sky above me!
V. Ya. Bryusov

Statements about the Russian language

The Russian language is a language created for poetry, it is unusually rich and remarkable for its subtlety of shades.

P. Merimee

The Russian language, as far as I can judge of it, is the richest of all European dialects and seems deliberately created to express the subtlest shades. Gifted with wonderful conciseness, combined with clarity, he is content with one word to convey thoughts when another language would need whole phrases for this.

P. Merimee

Charles the Fifth, the Roman emperor, used to say that it was proper to speak Spanish with God, French with friends, German with enemies, Italian with women. But if he were skilled in the Russian language, then, of course, he would add to that that it was decent for them to speak with all of them, for he found in it the splendor of Spanish, the liveliness of French, the strength of German, the tenderness of Italian, and, moreover, the brevity rich and strong in images. Greek and Latin languages.
The language, which the Russian power of a great part of the world commands, in its power has a natural abundance, beauty and strength, which is not inferior to any European language. And for that there is no doubt that the Russian word could not be brought to such perfection, which we are surprised at in others.

Every nation has distinguished itself in its own way, each with its own word, which, expressing any object, reflects in its expression part of its own character. The word of the Briton will echo with the knowledge of the heart and the wise knowledge of life; The short-lived word of a Frenchman will flash and scatter like a light dandy; the German will intricately invent his own, not accessible to everyone, cleverly thin word; but there is no word that would be so bold, brisk, so burst out from under the very heart, so seething and quivering like a well-spoken Russian word.

Heavenly beauty of our language / Will never be trampled on by cattle.

M. V. Lomonosov

By the attitude of each person to his language, one can accurately judge not only his cultural level, but also his civic value. True love for one's country is inconceivable without love for one's language. A man who is indifferent to his language is a savage. His indifference to the language is explained by a complete indifference to the past and future of his people.

K.G. Paustovsky

Take care of our language, our beautiful Russian language, this treasure, this property handed over to us by our predecessors...

The Russian language is so rich and deep that we have nothing to take from those who are poorer than us.

I.S. Turgenev

We have been given possession of the richest, most accurate, powerful and truly magical Russian language. True love for one's country is unthinkable without love for one's language. Language we learn and must learn continuously until last days own life.

Language is a heritage received from ancestors and left to posterity, which must be treated with fear and respect, as something sacred, invaluable and inaccessible to insult.

F. Nietzsche

We must protect the language from clogging, remembering that the words that we use now - with the transfer of a certain number of new ones - will serve many centuries after you to express ideas and thoughts that are still unknown to us, to create new poetic creations that are not amenable to our foresight. And we should be deeply grateful to the previous generations who brought this heritage to us - a figurative, capacious, intelligent language. It already has all the elements of art in itself: both a harmonious syntactic architecture, and the music of words, verbal painting.

S.Ya.Marshak

There is no word that would be so bold, brisk, so bursting out from under the very heart, so seething and vibrant, as aptly said Russian word.

M. Gorky

The Russian language is rich enough, but it has its drawbacks, and one of them is hissing sound combinations: -lice, -lice, -lice, -schcha, -schey. On the first page of your story, lice crawl into in large numbers: arrived, worked, spoke. It is quite possible to do without insects.

F. M. Dostoevsky

V. I. Lenin

We spoil the Russian language. We use foreign words unnecessarily. We use them incorrectly. Why say "defects" when you can say shortcomings, or shortcomings, or gaps? .. Isn't it time for us to declare war on the use of foreign words without need?

A. I. Kuprin

K. G. Paustovsky

Without you - how not to fall into despair at the sight of everything that happens at home? But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!

V. G. Belinsky

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

V. G. Belinsky

Of necessity, many foreign words entered the Russian language, because many foreign concepts and ideas entered Russian life. Such a phenomenon is not new... It is very difficult to invent your own terms to express other people's concepts, and in general this work is rarely successful. Therefore, with a new concept, which one takes from another, he also takes the very word that expresses this concept. [...] an unsuccessfully coined Russian word for expressing a concept is not only no better, but definitely worse than a foreign word.

N. S. Leskov
