Whatever you teach, be brief; what is quickly said, the mind readily receives and faithfully retains, everything superfluous runs over as from a full vessel.
Teaching brings out innate powers, and proper training braces the intellect.
Doctrina sed vim promovet insitam. Instruction enlarges the natural powers of the mind.
When you introduce a moral lesson, let it be brief.
The trainer trains the docile horse to turn, with his sensitive neck, whichever way the rider indicates.
