hebetes vero
et indociles non magis secundum naturam homines
eduntur quam prodigiosa corpora et monstris insignia, sed hi pauci admodum fuerunt. argumentum quod in pueris elucet spes plurimorum,
quae cum emoritur aetate, manifestum est, non
naturam defecisse sed curam. praestat tamen ingenio alius alium.
Quintilian. With an English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1920.
