tradito sibi puero docendi peritus ingenium
eius in primis naturamque perspiciet. ingenii signum
in parvis praecipuum memoria est. eius duplex
virtus, facile percipere et fideliter continere. proximum imitatio; nam id quoque est docilis naturae,
sic tamen, ut ea quae discit effingat, non habitum
forte et ingressum et si quid in peius notabile est.
Quintilian. With an English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1920.
