Mutos enim nasci et egere omni ratione satius fuisset quam providentiae munera in mutuam perniciem convertere. - Quintilian

For it had been better for men to be born dumb and devoid of reason than to turn the gifts of providence to their mutual destruction.

Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.

Atque eam natura ipsa videtur ad tolerandos facilius labores velut muneri nobis dedisse, si quidem et remigem cantus hortatur; nec solum in iis operibus in quibus plurium conatus praeeunte aliqua iucunda voce conspirat, sed etiam singulorum fatigatio quamlibet se rudi modulatione solatur.
