" Non possum," inquis, " pati; grave est iniuriam sustinere." Mentiris ; quis enim iniuriam non potest ferre, qui potest iram ? Adice nunc quod id agis, ut et iram feras et iniuriam. Quare fers aegri rabiem et phrenetici verba, puerorum protervas manus ? Nempe quia videntur nescire quid faciant. Quid interest, quo quisque vitio fiat imprudens ? Imprudentia par in omnibus patrocinium est. " Quid ergo ? " inquis, " impune illi erit ? " Puta velle te, tamen non erit ; maxima est enim factae iniuriae poena fecisse, nec quisquam gravius adficitur quam qui ad supplicium paenitentiae traditur.
