Language
Language is a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a language is any specific example of such a system.
Acquisition
The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs, they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.
Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527),in The Prince (1514), Ch. III, ‘Composite Principalities’
Acquisition
To whose gain? [Cui bono]
Marcus Tullius Cicero, in Pro Milone, ch. 12, sct. 32 (44-43 BC)
Acquisition
Never pay more for an acquisition than you have to.
Ira Steven Behr, Rule #3, The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition (1995)
