Vtrum igitur putas maiorem curam decoris in adseveranda oratione suscipiendam rhetori iurganti an philosopho obiurganti, apud iudices sorte ductos paulisper disceptanti an apud omnis homines semper disserenti, de finibus agrorum litiganti an de finibus bonorum et malorum docenti? Quid quod nec ob haec debet tantummodo philosophus speculum invisere?
Who then do you think should be more careful about his grooming to give weight to his words'a lawyer who disputes or a philosopher who rebukes, someone briefly arguing before an empanelled jury or one for ever discoursing before all mankind, one litigating about the limits of an estate or rather one expounding the limits of good and evil? What is more, even these are not the only reasons for a philosopher to look in a mirror.
