Μήτε σὺ μήτ’ ἄλλος ἀνθρώπων μηδεὶς ἐμὲ καταδείσειν λόγοις οἰέσθω, κἂν μηδὲν εἴπω, ἀλλὰ μηδ’ ἔργοις ἐλπιζέτω· πολέμων γὰρ ἔμπειρος ὢν καὶ οὔτ’ ἐπ’ ἀδίκοις οὔτε παρὰ δύναμιν θρασυνόμενος, καὶ τοὺς καιροὺς ῥοπὰς ἀγχιστρόφους καὶ ἑτεροκλινεῖς εἰδὼς ἔχοντας, ἔτι δὲ τὰς τύχας ἀβεβαίους εἰπεῖν μᾶλλον ἱκανώτερος πεφυκὼς ἢ ἀκοῦσαι, θαρρῶ μὲν ἐπ’ ἐμαυτῷ ὅσον οὐδεὶς τῶν ὄντων, πιστεύω δὲ τῷ δαίμονι πρὸς μηδένα τῶν ἀδικησάντων ἔλαττον σχήσειν. ἔχω γὰρ παρ’ αὐτοῦ πίστιν ἰσχυρὰν τὸ πάντας ἐφ’ ἡμῖν ποιῆσαι τοὺς ἐπιβουλεύοντας.
