A feature wherein TileHead presents a quote that is interesting, informative, inspiring, or humorous:
What a wealth of words in almost every language lies inert and unused; and certainly not fewest in our own. How much of what might be as current coin among us, is shut up in the treasure-house of a few classical authors, or is never to be met at all but in the columns of the dictionary.
– Richard Chenevix Trench (1807-1886), in On the Study of Words
