The quote I have liked is given below:

"There are so many things that motivate me to continue learning. One is my own desire to learn new things and really expand my horizon and my knowledge and information about the world."

-Malala Yousafzai, activist

The reason of liking it is that is my desire which helps me to go ahead by turning all the negative comments into my power.

Yes, I know a quote and that is here:

"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart."

- Nelson Mandela

I like this quote: "If you're going to learn a newlanguage, you can't try to be perfect. You'll stop yourself from talking. You just have to let go".

I agree because, if you stop talking thinking your vacabulary is not the best one, you'll miss the opportunity to comunicate and, in communication, if you don't know the perfect word, you can use another one, and your idea is anderstood as well. You don't have to be perfect, you have to be understood and, little by little, you are going to absorb  new vocabulary,  and your confidence will grow.
