τί οὖν ἐστιν θεοῖς ἐξαίρετον, ἀνθρώποις δ᾽ οὐ δυνατόν; ἁπάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἐγκρατεῖς ὄντας κυρίους εἶναι καὶ αὐτοὺς ἔχειν καὶ δοῦναι τοῖς ἄλλοις, φλαῦρον δὲ μηδὲν μηδέποτ᾽ ἐν παντὶ τῷ αἰῶνι μήτε παθεῖν μήτε μελλῆσαι. καὶ μὴν ὑποκειμένων τούτων, ὥσπερ προσήκει, σκοπεῖτε τὰ ὑμέτερ᾽ αὐτῶν πρὸς τὰ τῶν ἄλλων ἀνθρώπων.
Demosthenes. Orationes. ed. W. Rennie. Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1931.
