καὶ γὰρ τοῖς μὲν ἀφανῆ καὶ ταπεινὴν τὴν φύσιν ἔχουσιν οὐδ᾽ ὅταν μὴ καλῶς τι πράξωσιν ἐπιπλήττομεν, τοῖς δ᾽ ὥσπερ σὺ περιβλέπτοις γεγενημένοις καὶ τὸ παραμελῆσαί τινος τῶν καλλίστων αἰσχύνην φέρει. ἔτι δ᾽ οἱ μὲν ἐπὶ τῶν ἄλλων λόγων ψευσθέντες καθ᾽ ἑνὸς μόνου πράγματος οὐ τὰ κράτιστ᾽ ἔγνωσαν: οἱ δὲ τῆς τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων συμβουλίας διαμαρτόντες ἢ καταφρονήσαντες παρ᾽ ὅλον τὸν βίον τῆς ἑαυτῶν ἀγνωσίας ὑπομνήματ᾽ ἔχουσιν.
