Aut igitur unius Agesilai Lacedaemonii sententia nobis sequenda est, qui se neque pingi neque fingi unquam diffidens formae suae passus est, aut si mos omnium ceterorum hominum retinendus videtur in statuis et imaginibus non repudiandis, cur existimes imaginem suam cuique visendam potius in lapide quam in argento, magis in tabula quam in speculo?
Either therefore we must adopt the opinion of one man, Agesilaus of Sparta, who being diffident about his appearance never allowed either statues or portraits of himself, or else, if we think we should preserve the general custom of not refusing statues and pictures, why should you think that everyone should see his image in stone rather than in silver, in a picture rather than in a mirror?
