[71] τὸ δὲ κυριολογούμενον ἐπ’ ἀνθρώπων πάθος ὁ θυμὸς εὐθυβόλως εἴρηται τροπικώτερον ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄντος εἰς τὴν ἀναγκαιοτάτου πράγματος δήλωσιν, ὅτι πάνθ’ ὅσα δι’ ὀργὴν ἢ φόβον ἢ λύπην ἢ ἡδονὴν
ἤ τι τῶν ἄλλων παθῶν πράττομεν, ὑπαίτια καὶ ἐπίληπτα ὁμολογουμένως ἐστίν, ὅσα δὲ μετ’ ὀρθότητος λόγου καὶ ἐπιστήμης, ἐπαινετά.

[71] But anger, which is a passion peculiar to man, is here spoken of with especial felicity, but still more metaphorically than the real truth, in order to the explanation of a matter which is extremely necessary, namely, to show that everything that we do through anger, or fear, or pain, or grief, or any other passion, is confessedly faulty and open to reproach; but all that we do in accordance with right reason and knowledge is praiseworthy.
