Panathenaicus Perseus (IIsocrates, Vol 2. Norlin, George, translator. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1929 (printing).) — 214 focus

And yet who that is in his right mind would not prefer to die many times rather than be known as seeking through such practices to school himself in virtue?”
