      - [Grace]

      - [Proverbs]

It is the soul itself which sees and hears, and not those parts which are, as it were, but windows to the soul.
      - [Soul]

Judge not by the number, but by the weight.
      - [Quality]

Learning is a kind of natural food for the mind.
  [Lat., Doctrina est ingenii naturale quoddam pabulum.]
