εἰ γὰρ εἰς τοῦτον ἀφίξονται τὸν ἀγῶνα πρὸς ἐμπειροπολέμους ἰδιῶται, παντελῶς ἁλώσονται· ὁ μὲν ἀρχόμενος, ὅτι ἄπειρος, ὁ δὲ προκόπτων, ὅτι ἀτελής, ὁ δὲ τέλειος, ὅτι οὔπω ἄτριβος ἀρετῆς· δεῖ δ’ ὥσπερ τὰ κονιάματα στηριχθῆναι βεβαίως καὶ λαβεῖν πῆξιν, οὕτως τὰς τῶν τελειωθέντων ψυχὰς κραταιωθείσας παγιώτερον ἱδρυθῆναι μελέτῃ συνεχεῖ καὶ γυμνάσμασιν ἐπαλλήλοις.
