[139] διὸ κἀν ταῖς μάχαις ἡ λοχαγῶν καὶ ταξιαρχῶν καὶ
στρατηγῶν μεγίστη παρακέλευσις ἥδ’ ἐστί· „κακῶν τὸ βαρύτατον, ἄνδρες σύμμαχοι, δουλείαν ἐπιφερομένην ἀπωσώμεθα· τοῦ καλλίστου τῶν ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἀγαθῶν, ἐλευθερίας, μὴ περιίδωμεν. ἥδ’ ἐστὶν ἀρχὴ καὶ πηγὴ τῆς εὐδαιμονίας, ἀφ’ ἧς αἱ κατὰ μέρος ῥέουσιν ὠφέλειαι.“

This is the beginning and fountain of all happiness, from which all particular blessings flow."
