[30] τὸν αὐτὸν μέντοι τρόπον καὶ δοξομανοῦντα καὶ ἐπικομπάζοντα βουληθεὶς ὀνειδίσαι μοχθηρόν, δυνηθεὶς ἔντιμος εἶναι μὴ ἀποστραφῇς τὸν παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς ἔπαινον· οὕτως γὰρ τὸν μακρὰ βαίνοντα καὶ φρυαττόμενον ἄθλιον ὑποσκελιεῖς. ὁ μέν γε τῷ ἐπιφανεῖ καταχρήσεται πρὸς ὕβριν καὶ ἀτιμίαν ἀμεινόνων ἑτέρων,
αὔξων τοὺς χείρους ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς· σὺ δὲ ἔμπαλιν τοῖς ἀξίοις ἅπασι μεταδώσεις τῆς εὐκλείας, ἀσφάλειαν μὲν περιποιῶν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς, βελτιῶν δὲ ¹² τοὺς χείρους νουθεσίᾳ.

[30] And, in the same manner, when you wish to reprove any wicked man who is mad with a high opinion of himself and full of boasting, while you are able yourself to attain to distinguished honours, do not disdainfully reject the praise of the multitude: for by so doing you will trip up and supplant the miserable man who takes long strides, and who gives himself airs. For he will abuse his own renown for the purpose of behaving with insolence and contumely to others who are better than he, promoting those who are worse, so as to set them above them; while you, on the contrary, will give all worthy persons a share in your renown, giving in this manner security to those who are good, and by your admonitions improving those who are not so good.
