ἀλλὰ γὰρ ἐπὶ τῶν ἐλαττόνων καὶ τοῦ βίου τοῦ καθʼ ἡμέραν ἐπιδείξειεν ἄν τις τοὺς πολλοὺς χαίροντας μὲν καὶ τῶν ἐδεσμάτων καὶ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων τοῖς καὶ τὸ σῶμα καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν βλάπτουσιν, ἐπίπονα δὲ καὶ χαλεπὰ νομίζοντας ἀφʼ ὧν ἀμφότερα ταῦτʼ ἂν ὠφελοῖτο, καὶ καρτερικοὺς εἶναι δοκοῦντας τοὺς ἐν τούτοις ἐμμένοντας.
