  • "καὶ γὰρ τὸ παρὸν ὡσ μικρὸν μᾶλλον δὲ μηδ’ ὁτιοῦν πρὸσ τὰ σύμπαν ἀτιμάσαντεσ ἀναπόλαυστον προϊένται, καὶ ὀλιγωροῦσιν ἀρετῆσ καὶ πράξεωσ οἱο͂ν ἐξαθυμοῦντεσ καὶ καταφρονοῦντεσ ἑαυτῶν, ὡσ ἐφημέρων καὶ ἀβεβαίων καὶ πρὸσ οὐθὲν ἀξιόλογον γεγονότων. (Plutarch, Non posse suaviter vivi secundum Epicurum, section 272)
  • ἔπειθ’ οὕτωσ ὀλιγωροῦσιν τοῦ δοκεῖν ἐπιεικεῖσ εἶναι, καὶ παντελῶσ τἄλλα πάρεργα πρὸσ τὸ λαβεῖν νομίζουσιν, ὥστ’ οὐ μόνον τοῖσ πρότερον ῥηθεῖσιν ὑφ’ αὑτῶν ἐναντία τολμῶσιν δημηγορεῖν, ἀλλὰ καὶ νῦν οὐ ταὐτὰ λέγουσιν ἑαυτοῖσ, οἵτινεσ τοὺσ μὲν ναύτασ φασὶ δεῖν οἰκείουσ εἶναι τῆσ τριήρουσ τῆσ ληψομένησ τὸν στέφανον, τῶν δὲ τριηράρχων τοὺσ ἠλλοτριωκότασ αὑτοὺσ ἀπὸ τῆσ λῃτουργίασ, τούτουσ στεφανῶσαι κελεύουσι. (Demosthenes, Speeches 51-61, 22:2)
  • ὅ τε γὰρ καταφρονῶν ὀλιγωρεῖ ὅσα γὰρ οἰόνται μηδενὸσ ἄξια, τούτων καταφρονοῦσιν, τῶν δὲ μηδενὸσ ἀξίων ὀλιγωροῦσιν, καὶ ὁ ἐπηρεάζων φαίνεται ὀλιγωρεῖν. (Aristotle, Rhetoric, Book 2, chapter 2 4:1)
  • ὅμοιοι γάρ εἰσιν ἢ ὀλιγωροῦσιν ἢ ἐχθροῖσ· (Aristotle, Rhetoric, Book 2, chapter 2 21:2)
  • καὶ τοῖσ εἰσ τὰ τοιαῦτα ὀλιγωροῦσιν ὑπὲρ ὧν αὐτοῖσ αἰσχρὸν μὴ βοηθεῖν, οἱο͂ν γονεῖσ, τέκνα, γυναῖκασ, ἀρχομένουσ. (Aristotle, Rhetoric, Book 2, chapter 2 23:1)
