[21]
parva docemus oratorem instituendum professi,
sed est sua etiam studiis infantia; et ut corporum
mox fortissimorum educatio a lacte cunisque initium
ducit, ita futurus eloquentissimus edidit aliquando
vagitum et loqui primum incerta voce temptavit
et haesit circa formas litterarum. nec si quid
discere satis non est, ideo nec necesse est.
Quintilian. With an English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1920.
