Nullius in verba is an alternative form of an old Latin proverb "nihil in verbis", which means, literally, "nothing is in the words". The meaning of this is "language cannot describe everything". It is also the motto of Royal Mathematical Society, the same one that the guy with penchant for apples, apple trees and related forces used to belong to. I wonder whether Cary is a Britt? Sometimes, his sense of humor makes me think that he is.
