"Properly speaking, it belongs to the highest cultural development of the people to say everything in their own language. The concepts that we mark with foreign words seem to us to be themselves something foreign and not to belong to us immediately as our very own...that which is in itself must just not have this foreignness for us, and we must not give it this foreign look by using a foreign terminology, but must count ourselves really convinced that the spirit itself is alive everywhere and that it expresses its forms in our own spontaneous natural language." (Hegel. Delivered at the beginning of his winter course in October 1804.)
