English[en]
20] Man has the faculty of understanding at his birth, but he also has need of his mother's word to awaken it, as it were, and to make it active.
French[fr]
Il existe aussi dans l’homme, dès qu’il vit, une intelligence: elle a pourtant besoin de la parole maternelle, qui l’éveille en quelque sorte et la met, comme on dit, en action.
Italian[it]
Anche l'uomo, nascendo, porta in sé la facoltà d'intendere; pure ha bisogno della parola della madre, che quasi la risvegli e la faccia, come dicesi, uscire in atto.
Latin[la]
Est et in homine, ab exortu, intelligendi vis: ea tamen materno indiget verbo, quo quasi excitata in actum, ut aiunt, exeat.
