ἐξ οὗ συμβαίνει τὸ τὴν μὲν τῶν ἀγαθῶν προαγόρευσιν μὴ ἐπιτείνειν πάνυ τι τὴν χαρὰν, διὰ τὸ καὶ χωρὶς τῆς προαγορεύσεως ἔκαστον ἐξ ἑαυτοῦ τὰ κρείττω προσδοκᾶν, ἢ ἐπ’ ὀλίγον ἐπιτείνειν τῇ δοκούσῃ βεβαιότητι , πολλάκις δὲ καὶ μει.οῦν τὴν χαρὰν, ὅταν ἐλάττω τῶν ἐλπισθέντων ἀκουσθῇ · τὴν δὲ τῶν κακῶν προαγόρευσιν , καὶ διὰ τὸ ἀπόστρεπτον αὐτῶν φύσει, καὶ διὰ τὸ παρ’ ἐλπίδας ἐνίοτε προλέ- γεσθαι, μεγάλως συνταράττειν.
