  • μήθ̓ ὑφ̓ ἡδονῆσ κατασπᾶσθαι μήτε ὀργίζεσθαι, φθόνου δὲ κρείττονι καὶ πλούτου καταφρονοῦντι καὶ συνόλωσ εὐδαίμονι, ὁποῖον χρὴ τὸν κανόνα εἶναι καὶ γνώμονα τοῦ κατὰ τὴν ἀρετὴν βίου, ‐ ὁ γὰρ καὶ κατὰ μικρότατον ἐνδέων ἀτελήσ, κἂν πάντα πλείω ἔχῃ ‐ εἰ δὲ τοῦτο οὐχί, οὐδέπω εὐδαίμων. (Lucian, 158:1)
  • τοῦ μέντοι περὶ τὰσ ὁμιλίασ ὄγκου καὶ τοῦ πρὸσ τὸν δῆμον ἀτενοῦσ ἐφιλονείκει μηδὲν ὑφελεῖν μηδὲ χαλάσαι, καίτοι τῶν πραγμάτων αὐτῷ χάριτοσ ἐνδεῶν ὄντων, καὶ Πλάτωνοσ ἐπιτιμῶντοσ, ὡσ εἰρήκαμεν, καὶ γράφοντοσ ὅτι ἡ αὐθάδεια ἐρημίᾳ σύνοικόσ ἐστιν, ἀλλὰ φύσει τε φαίνεται πρὸσ τὸ πιθανὸν δυσκεράστῳ κεχρημένοσ, ἀντισπᾶν τε τοὺσ Συρακουσίουσ ἄγαν ἀνειμένουσ καὶ διατεθρυμμένουσ προθυμούμενοσ. (Plutarch, Dion, chapter 52 4:1)
