Nam quidem feris et pecudibus os humile est et deorsum ad pedes deiectum, uestigio et pabulo proximum; nunquam ferme nisi mortuis aut ad morsum exasperatis conspicitur: hominis vero nihil prius tacentis, nihil saepius loquentis contemplere.
while in wild and domesticated animals the mouth is set low down and turned toward the feet, is close to where they walk and feed, and is almost never seen except when they are dead or goaded into biting: in a man, by contrast, there is nothing you notice sooner when he is silent or oftener when he talks.
