[165] τῶν δὲ θυγατέρων ἡ μὲν πρεσβυτέρα κεκλήσεται βουλή, συναίνεσις δὲ ἡ νεωτέρα· τῷ μὲν γὰρ βουλεύσασθαι τὸ συναινεῖν ἕπεται, συναινέσας δ’ οὐδὲ εἷς ἔτι βουλεύεται. καθίσας οὖν ὁ νοῦς ἐν τῷ ἑαυτοῦ συνεδρίῳ διακινεῖν ἄρχεται τὰς θυγατέρας καὶ μετὰ μὲν τῆς πρεσβυτέρας, βουλῆς, σκοπεῖσθαί τε καὶ διερευνᾶν
ἕκαστα, μετὰ δὲ τῆς νεωτέρας, συναινέσεως, ἐπινεύειν ῥᾳδίως τοῖς ἐπιτυχοῦσι καὶ ὡς φίλα τὰ ἐχθρὰ ἀσπάζεσθαι, δέλεαρ εἴ τι μικρὸν ἡδονῆς ¹² αὐτὸ μόνον ἀφ’ ἑαυτῶν ἐνδιδῴη.

[165] Of these daughters of his the elder may be called Counsel, and the younger may be named Assent, for assent follows upon taking counsel; but no one after he has assented still takes counsel. Accordingly the mind, when it has taken its seat in its council chamber, begins to put its daughters in motion; and with the elder one, namely, Counsel, it begins to consider and investigate everything; and with the younger one, Assent, it begins easily to assent to the circumstances that arise, and to embrace what is hostile as though it were friendly, if they only present ever so slight an attraction of pleasure from this source.
