ἔστι μὲν οὖν ἴσως χαλεπὸν τὰς παρούσας συμφορὰς λόγῳ κουφίσαι· δεῖ δʼ ὅμως πειρᾶσθαι καὶ πρὸς τὰ παρηγοροῦντα τρέπειν τὴν ψυχήν, ὡς τοὺς τοιούτους ἄνδρας γεγεννηκότας καὶ πεφυκότας αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοιούτων ἑτέρων καλόν ἐστιν τὰ δείνʼ εὐσχημονέστερον τῶν ἄλλων φέροντας ὁρᾶσθαι καὶ πάσῃ τύχῃ χρωμένους ὁμοίους εἶναι.
