Shamelessly acquired from the Vocabulary Reclamation Project:
“English doesn’t borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.”

Campus Crusade for Christ has a good source for materials that can help with this also. It can be found at http://www.davinciquest.org
