  • ψυχὴν θήσομεν, ἣ ἂν τὸ μὲν ἑκούσιον ψεῦδοσ μισῇ καὶ χαλεπῶσ φέρῃ αὐτή τε καὶ ἑτέρων ψευδομένων ὑπεραγανακτῇ, τὸ δ’ ἀκούσιον εὐκόλωσ προσδέχηται καὶ ἀμαθαίνουσά που ἁλισκομένη μὴ ἀγανακτῇ, ἀλλ’ εὐχερῶσ ὥσπερ θηρίον ὑειόν ἐν ἀμαθίᾳ μολύνηται; (Plato, Republic, book 7 423:1)
  • ὁ δὲ Περικλῆσ, εἰδὼσ τὸν δῆμον ἐν μὲν τοῖσ πολεμικοῖσ ἔργοισ θαυμάζοντα τοὺσ ἀγαθοὺσ ἄνδρασ διὰ τὰσ κατεπειγούσασ χρείασ, κατὰ δὲ τὴν εἰρήνην τοὺσ αὐτοὺσ συκοφαντοῦντα διὰ τὴν σχολὴν καὶ φθόνον, ἔκρινε συμφέρειν αὑτῷ τὴν πόλιν ἐμβαλεῖν εἰσ μέγαν πόλεμον, ὅπωσ χρείαν ἔχουσα τῆσ Περικλέουσ ἀρετῆσ καὶ στρατηγίασ μὴ προσδέχηται τὰσ κατ’ αὐτοῦ διαβολάσ, μηδ’ ἔχῃ σχολὴν καὶ χρόνον ἐξετάζειν ἀκριβῶσ τὸν περὶ τῶν χρημάτων λόγον.
