Prodest morbum suum nosse et vires eius antequam spatientur opprimere. Videamus quid sit, quod nos maxime concitet. Alium verborum, alium rerum contumeliae movent; hic vult nobilitati, hic formae suae parci; hic elegantissimus haberi cupit, ille doctissimus ; hic superbiae impatiens est, hic contumaciae ; ille servos non putat dignos quibus irascatur, hic intra domum saevus est, foris mitis ; ille rogari invidiam iudicat, hic non rogari contumeliam. Non omnes ab eadem parte feriuntur ; scire itaque oportet, quid in te imbecillum sit, ut id maxime protegas.
