ἀλλὰ γὰρ οὐ σὺ μόνος ἀγνοεῖς τοὺς καλῶς χρωμένους τοῖς πράγμασιν, ἀλλὰ σχεδὸν οἱ πλεῖστοι τῶν Ἑλλήνων. ἐπειδὰν γάρ τινας ἴδωσιν ἢ πύθωνται παρά τινων ἐπιμελῶς διατρίβοντας περὶ τὰ δοκοῦντʼ εἶναι καλὰ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων, ἐπαινοῦσι καὶ πολλοὺς λόγους ποιοῦνται περὶ αὐτῶν, οὐκ εἰδότες τὸ συμβησόμενον.

[221] “In truth, however, it is not you alone who fail to distinguish those who make good use of things, but, I might almost say, the great majority of the Hellenes. For whenever they see or hear from others that any people devote themselves zealously to what appear to be good practices, they extol them and make many speeches about them, without knowing what will be the effects of this devotion.
