Metaphor in Context
Do not variegate the Structure of your Walls with Eubaean and Spartan Stone: but adorn both the Minds of the Citizens, and of those who govern them, by the Grecian Education. For Cities are made good Habitations by the Sentiments of those who live in them; not by Wood and Stone.
