const longTextSample = `1. I learned from my grandfather, Verus, to use good manners, and to
|
||||
put restraint on anger. 2. In the famous memory of my father I had a
|
||||
pattern of modesty and manliness. 3. Of my mother I learned to be
|
||||
pious and generous; to keep myself not only from evil deeds, but even
|
||||
from evil thoughts; and to live with a simplicity which is far from
|
||||
customary among the rich. 4. I owe it to my great-grandfather that I
|
||||
did not attend public lectures and discussions, but had good and able
|
||||
teachers at home; and I owe him also the knowledge that for things of
|
||||
this nature a man should count no expense too great.
|
||||
|
||||
5. My tutor taught me not to favour either green or blue at the
|
||||
chariot races, nor, in the contests of gladiators, to be a supporter
|
||||
either of light or heavy armed. He taught me also to endure labour;
|
||||
not to need many things; to serve myself without troubling others; not
|
||||
to intermeddle in the affairs of others, and not easily to listen to
|
||||
slanders against them.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Of Diognetus I had the lesson not to busy myself about vain things;
|
||||
not to credit the great professions of such as pretend to work
|
||||
wonders, or of sorcerers about their charms, and their expelling of
|
||||
Demons and the like; not to keep quails (for fighting or divination),
|
||||
nor to run after such things; to suffer freedom of speech in others,
|
||||
and to apply myself heartily to philosophy. Him also I must thank for
|
||||
my hearing first Bacchius, then Tandasis and Marcianus; that I wrote
|
||||
dialogues in my youth, and took a liking to the philosopher's pallet
|
||||
and skins, and to the other things which, by the Grecian discipline,
|
||||
belong to that profession.
|
||||
|
||||
7. To Rusticus I owe my first apprehensions that my nature needed
|
||||
reform and cure; and that I did not fall into the ambition of the
|
||||
common Sophists, either by composing speculative writings or by
|
||||
declaiming harangues of exhortation in public; further, that I never
|
||||
strove to be admired by ostentation of great patience in an ascetic
|
||||
life, or by display of activity and application; that I gave over the
|
||||
study of rhetoric, poetry, and the graces of language; and that I did
|
||||
not pace my house in my senatorial robes, or practise any similar
|
||||
affectation. I observed also the simplicity of style in his letters,
|
||||
particularly in that which he wrote to my mother from Sinuessa. I
|
||||
learned from him to be easily appeased, and to be readily reconciled
|
||||
with those who had displeased me or given cause of offence, so soon as
|
||||
they inclined to make their peace; to read with care; not to rest
|
||||
satisfied with a slight and superficial knowledge; nor quickly to
|
||||
assent to great talkers. I have him to thank that I met with the
|
||||
discourses of Epictetus, which he furnished me from his own library.
|
||||
|
||||
8. From Apollonius I learned true liberty, and tenacity of purpose; to
|
||||
regard nothing else, even in the smallest degree, but reason always;
|
||||
and always to remain unaltered in the agonies of pain, in the losses
|
||||
of children, or in long diseases. He afforded me a living example of
|
||||
how the same man can, upon occasion, be most yielding and most
|
||||
inflexible. He was patient in exposition; and, as might well be seen,
|
||||
esteemed his fine skill and ability in teaching others the principles
|
||||
of philosophy as the least of his endowments. It was from him that I
|
||||
learned how to receive from friends what are thought favours without
|
||||
seeming humbled by the giver or insensible to the gift.`
