Language is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking.
This is a quote said by Humphrey Davy. Through my perspective, what is being said in this quote is that language governs our ways of thinking, in all ways, and is an essential aspect of life. This is a quote that I agree with as language is something that also guides my own thoughts, and allows me to think in many different ways. As a result, language can be seen as a tool that we use to gain more knowledge, and communicate it to others. In my opinion, without language, humans would be unable to effectively communicate, or think, and therefore, it is something that is fundamental.
