Isocrates, To Demonicus (ed. George Norlin), section 17 (search)
Guard yourself against accusations, even if they are false; for the multitude are ignorant of the truth and look only to reputation. In all things resolve to act as though the whole world would see what you do; for even if you conceal your deeds for the moment, later you will be found out. But most of all will you have the respect of men, if you are seen to avoid doing things which you would blame others for doing.Apparently borrowed form Thales. See Diog. Laert. 1.36 e)a\n toi=s a)llois e)pitimw=men au)toi\ drw=men. Cf. Isoc. 1.14 and note.
T. Maccius Plautus, Rudens, or The Fisherman's Rope (ed. Henry Thomas Riley), act 4, scene 3 (search)
to-day! TRACHALIO We are wasting words; the day wears apace. Consider, please, by whose arbitration do you wish us to proceed? GRIPUS By the arbitration of the wallet. TRACHALIO Really so, indeed? You are a fool. GRIPUS My respects to you, Mister ThalesThales: Thales of Miletus was one of the seven wise men of Greece. Gripus ironically calls Trachalio by this name, in reply to the other having called him a fool. Going. TRACHALIO holding him. You shan't carry that off this day, unless you find Thales: Thales of Miletus was one of the seven wise men of Greece. Gripus ironically calls Trachalio by this name, in reply to the other having called him a fool. Going. TRACHALIO holding him. You shan't carry that off this day, unless you find a place of safe keeping for it, or an umpire, by whose arbitration this matter may be settled. GRIPUS Prithee, are you in your senses? TRACHALIO I'm mad, in need of hellebore. GRIPUS But I'm troubled with sprites; still I shan't let this go. Hugs the wallet. TRACHALIO Only add a single word more, that instant I'll drive my fists smash into your brains. This instant on this spot, just as a new napkin is wont to be wrung, I'll wring out of you whatever moisture there is, if you don't let this go.
