Though Ambition In Itself Is A Vice, Yet It Is Often The Parent Of Virtues. [lat., Licet Ipsa Vitium Sit Ambitio, Frequenter Tamen Causa Virtutem Est.]

Virtue, Though She Gets Her Beginning From Nature, Yet Receives Her Finishing Touches From Learning.

For The Mind Is All The Easier To Teach Before It Is Set.
