Citáty Isokratés
„Hlúpi boháči sú pri svojom majetku takí, ako gazda, ktorý má koňa a nevie na ňom jazdiť.“
Podobné: Niektorí ľudia sa správajú asi tak ako keby vlastnili lietadlo a používajú iba vrtuľu aby vysušili prádlo. (Anthony de Mello)
Prisudzované výroky
Verse 42.
To Demonicus
Kontext: Consider that nothing in human life is stable; for then you will not exult overmuch in prosperity, nor grieve overmuch in adversity. Rejoice over the good things which come to you, but grieve in moderation over the evils which befall you, and in either case do not expose your heart to others; for it were strange to hide away one's treasure in the house, and yet walk about laying bare one's feelings to the world.
Verse 18.
To Demonicus
Kontext: If you love knowledge, you will be a master of knowledge. What you have come to know, preserve by exercise; what you have not learned, seek to add to your knowledge; for it is as reprehensible to hear a profitable saying and not grasp it as to be offered a good gift by one's friends and not accept it. Spend your leisure time in cultivating an ear attentive to discourse, for in this way you will find that you learn with ease what others have found out with difficulty.
