οὐ λογιζόμενοι τοῦθʼ ὅτι τοῦ μὲν ζητῆσαι καὶ λογίσασθαι τὰ βέλτιστα, ὡς ἄνθρωπος, καὶ πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰπεῖν αὐτὸς ἕκαστός ἐστιν κύριος, τοῦ δὲ πραχθῆναι ταῦτα καὶ συνενεγκεῖν ἐν τῇ τύχῃ τὸ πλεῖστον μέρος γίγνεται. ἔστιν δʼ ἄνθρωπον ὄντʼ ἀγαπητὸν τῆς αὑτοῦ διανοίας λόγον ὑπέχειν· τῆς δὲ τύχης πρὸς ὑποσχεῖν ἕν τι τῶν ἀδυνάτων.
