Sometimes indeed men are actually praised1 for deeds of this ‘mixed’
class, namely when they submit to some disgrace or pain as the price of some great and
noble object; though if they do so without any such motive they are blamed, since it is
contemptible to submit to a great disgrace with no advantage or only a trifling one in
view. In some cases again, such submission though not praised is condoned, when a man does
something wrong through fear of penalties that impose too great a strain on human nature,
and that no one could endure.
