[88] εἰ γὰρ ἐπιλάμψειέ ποτε τῷ βίῳ τὸ ἀγαθὸν τοῦτο καὶ δυνηθείημεν τὸν καιρὸν ἰδεῖν ἐκεῖνον, ἐν ᾧ χειροήθη ποτὲ γενήσεται τὰ ἀτίθασα. πολὺ δὲ πρότερον τὰ ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ θηρία τιθασευθήσεται, οὗ μεῖζον ἀγαθὸν οὐκ ἔστιν εὑρεῖν· ἢ οὐχὶ
εὔηθες ὑπολαμβάνειν, ὅτι τὰς ἀπὸ τῶν ἐκτὸς θηρίων βλάβας ἐκφευξόμεθα τὰ ἐν αὑτοῖς εἰς δεινὴν ἀγριότητα ἀεὶ συγκροτοῦντες; ὅθεν οὐκ ἀπελπιστέον, ὅτι ἐξημερωθέντων τῶν κατὰ διάνοιαν καὶ τὰ ζῷα ἡμερωθήσεται.

[88] For if this good should ever at any future time shine upon the world, so that we may be able to see the time in which the savage animals shall become manageable, long before that the wild passions in the soul will be tamed, and it is not possible to imagine a greater blessing than that; for is it not a piece of absolute folly to imagine that we can ever avoid injuries from wild beasts which are outside, while we are continually training up the passions within ourselves to a terrible degree of savageness? On which account we must not despair that when the passions of our mind are tamed and subdued, then the wild beasts also will be broken in.
