  • ὅρος ἐμός γε τε καὶ κανών τοὺ ἀνθρώπου τὸ δύνασθαι πρὸς πειρασμὸν λογίζεσθαι καὶ ἐπέχειν.

  • My definition, at any rate, of humanity is the ability, in the face of temptation, to exercise reason while refraining oneself.

  • ὅστις ἔτι καὶ ἂν οὐ ἔχῃ, οὐ δεῖ ὀνομάζεσθαι ἄνθρωπος.

  • Whoever, furthermore, would not be able, he ought not be called Human.

  • ὅστις ἂν ἔχῃ λόγον ἀλλά οὐ κόλασιν οὐ ἄνθρωπος ἐστὶν ἀλλὰ δυστυχὴς μιμητής δόξης. πολλάκις οὖν δή ἐρημίαν ἔχειν ἐπιτηδείων καὶ φιλῶν
    Whoever would possess reason, but not discipline is not a man, but a imitator of opinions. Often to be destitute of companions and friends.

  • ὅστις ἄν ἔχῃ κόλασιν ἀλλὰ οὐ λόγον, ζώον ἁπλῶς ἐστὶν. οὕτος γὰρ πράττει ἄγων βίον πάρεργον κάτα εὐεξία καὶ φαντασίαν, οὐ κάτα προαίρεσιν.

  • Whoever would possess discipline but not reason, is simply an animal. For he acts leading a life of habit according to impression, not according to will.

  • ὅστις ἔτι καὶ ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, οὐ δεῖ ὀνομάζεσθαι ἄνθρωπος.

  • ὅστις ἂν ἔχῃ λόγον ἀλλὰ μὴ κόλασιν οὐκ ἄνθρωπός ἐστιν ἀλλὰ δυστυχὴς μιμητὴς δόξης. πολλάκις οὖν δὴ ἐρημίαν ἔχειν ἐπιτηδείων καὶ φίλων.

  • ὅστις ἂν ἔχῃ κόλασιν ἀλλὰ μὴ λόγον, ζῷον ἁπλῶς ἐστιν. οὗτος γὰρ πράττει ἄγων βίον πάρεργον κάτα εὐεξίαν καὶ φαντασίαν, οὐ κάτα προαίρεσιν.

ὅστις ἔτι καὶ ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, οὐ δεῖ ὀνομάζεσθαι ἄνθρωπος.

ἔτι δὲ καὶ ὅστις ἂν μὴ δύνηται, (τοῦτον) οὐ δεῖ ὀνομάζεσθαι ἄνθρωπον. (δεῖ is impersonal.)
