δῆλόν γε μὴν ὡς ὁ πλοῦτος οὔτε πρὸς ξένους οὔτε ἄλλως μέγα τι συμβάλλεται τοῖς κεκτημένοις, ἀλλὰ τοὐναντίον γλίσχρους καὶ φειδωλοὺς ὡς τὸ πολὺ μᾶλλον τῆς πενίας ἀποτελεῖν πέφυκεν. οὐδὲγάρ, εἴ τις αὖ τῶν πλουσίων, εἷς που τάχα ἐν μυρίοις, δαψιλὴς καὶ μεγαλόφρων τὸν τρόπον εὑρεθείη, τοῦτο ἱκανῶς δείκνυσι τὸ μὴ οὐχὶ τοὺς πολλοὺς χείρους περὶ ταῦτα γίγνεσθαι τῶν ἀπορωτέρων.
