    • L. L. Zamenhof, Respondo 45, La Revuo, August 1908, in Franko Luin (editor), Lingvaj respondoj,
      la vera celo de la Lingva Komitato tute ne konsistas en ia facilanima eksperimentado sen grava neceseco; ju malpli ni okupos niajn kapojn per diversaj «plibonigoj» kaj ju pli ni simple propagandos kaj riĉigos la lingvon, des pli bone estos.
      the true aim of the Language Committee does not at all consist in frivolous experimentation where there is no serious need; the less we occupy our heads with various “improvements” and the more we simply publicize and enrich the language, the better it will be.
