καπνίζοντα καὶ διακαόμενον οὐ
μεγάλης δεῖται πραγματείας, ἀλλὰ πολλάκις
αὐτῷ τῷ σιωπῆσαι καὶ καταμελῆσαι
κατέπαυσε. καὶ
γὰρ τὸ πῦρ ὁ μὴ παρασχὼν ὕλην ἔσβεσε,
καὶ ὀργὴν ὁ μὴ θρέψας ἐν ἀρχῇ καὶ μὴ
φυσήσας ἑαυτὸν ἐφυλάξατο καὶ καθεῖλεν. οὐκ
ἤρεσκεν οὖν μοι, καίπερ ἄλλα χρήσιμα
λέγων καὶ παραινῶν ὁ Ἱερώνυμος, ἐν οἷς
οὔ φησι γιγνομένης ἀλλὰ γεγενημένης καὶ οὔσης
αἴσθησιν ὀργῆς εἶναι διὰ τὸ τάχος.
οὐθὲν γὰρ οὕτω τῶν παθῶν συλλεγόμενον καὶ
διακινούμενον ἔχει τὴν γένεσιν ἐμφανῆ
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1891. 3.
