but I give such time as labor and great pain some. For to come to the least, who our exercise any labor unless as some from it convenient consequence. Two but irure pain in reprehend in pleasure want to be a little pain and flee none produce. Except are blinded by desire not proident, are in fault who desert offices softens the soul that is labor

But truly those both accuse and consider most worthy of just hatred who are flattered and corrupted by the flatteries of present pleasures which pains and what annoyances they will except blinded by desire, are in similar fault who desert offices softness of mind, that is the flight of labors and pains. And these things indeed are easy and expedient distinction. For in free time, when the option of choosing is loose to us and nothing prevents us from doing that which pleases us most, all pleasure must be assumed, all pain repelled. But at certain times, either due to duties or the necessities of life, it will often happen that both pleasures are to be rejected and annoyances are not to be refused. Therefore, the wise man is restrained from choosing these things, so that either by rejecting greater pleasures he may obtain others or by enduring more severe pains he may repel them.

But we accuse those and consider them most deserving of just hatred who, soothed and corrupted by the flatteries of present pleasures, do not foresee what pains and annoyances they will suffer, blinded by greed. And those who abandon their duties through the softness of the mind, that is, the flight from labors and pains, are in a similar fault.
