To speak
:-in respect of the
things which the lawgiver enumerates and describes
as either, on the one hand, base and evil, or, on the
other hand, noble and good, if any man refuses to
avoid by every means the one kind, and with all his
power to practise the other kind,-such a man knows
not that everyone who acts thus is treating most
dishonourably and most disgracefully that most divine
of things, his soul.
