καὶ πολυπραγμονοῦσα καὶ φροντίζουσα καὶ ἀριθμοῦσα τῶν φίλων
ἔτι πόσοι ζῶσιν, εἶτα πρὸς 1 μηδὲν ἀπολαύουσα τῶν πανταχόθεν
προσποριζομένων. ὥσπερ οὖν ἐχίδνας καὶ
κανθαρίδας καὶ φαλάγγια μᾶλλον προβαλλόμεθα καὶ δυσχεραίνομεν ἄρκτων καὶ
λεόντων, ὅτι κτείνει καὶ ἀπόλλυσιν ἀνθρώπους μηδὲν χρώμενα τοῖς
ἀπολλυμένοις ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν: οὕτω δεῖ μᾶλλον δυσχεραίνειν τῶν δι᾽ ἀσωτίαν
τοὺς διὰ μικρολογίαν καὶ ἀνελευθερίαν
πονηρούς: ἀφαιροῦνται γὰρ ἄλλων, οἷς αὐτοὶ χρῆσθαι μὴ δύνανται
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1891. 3.
