primum quia emendationem auribus modo
accipiunt, divisionem vero ad cogitationem etiam et
stilum perferunt; deinde quod libentius praecipientem audiunt quam reprehendentem. si qui vero

neque ideo tamen minus vitia aperte coarguenda
sunt.
Quintilian. With an English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1920.
