Xenophon was not without reason so much displeased, when he saw some of the best of Socrates his Disciples, make their Court to Dionysius in Sicilie; knowing how inconsistent the reputation of vertue is, with the very suspicion of Flattery: and that nothing makes great men more suspicious of vertue, than when they see Philosophers become Flatterers, and carrying on the restless designs of ambition under the pretence of teaching the art of contentment to others. |
