ἴσως μὲν γὰρ οὐ παρὰ μόνοις ὑμῖν, ἀλλὰ καὶ παρὰ τοῖς ἄλλοις ἅπασι μεγάλης τινὸς τοῦτο δεῖται θεραπείας, μᾶλλον δὲ εὐχῆς. οὐ γὰρ ἔστιν ἄλλως ἢ τῶν κινούντων κακῶν καὶ ταρασσόντων ἀπολυθέντας, φθόνου, πλεονεξίας, φιλονικίας, τοῦ ζητεῖν ἕκαστον αὔξειν ἑαυτὸν τὴν πατρίδα καὶ τὸ κοινῇ συμφέρον ἐάσαντα συμπνεῦσαί ποτε ἰσχυρῶς καὶ ταὐτὰ προελέσθαι. ὡς παρʼ οἷς ἂν ἰσχύῃ ταῦτα καὶ τοιαῦθʼ ἕτερα, τούτους ἀνάγκη τὸν ἀεὶ χρόνον ἐπισφαλεῖς εἶναι καὶ διὰ μικρὰ συμπίπτειν καὶ θορυβεῖσθαι, καθάπερ ἐν θαλάττῃ πνευμάτων ἐναντίων ἰσχυόντων.
