"Come and listen to me read my commentaries...I will explain Chrysippus to you like no one else can, and I'll provide a complete analysis of his entire text...If necessary, I can even add the views of Antipater and Archedemos"...So it's for this, is it, that young men are to leave their fatherlands and their own parents: to come and listen to you explain words? Trifling little words?
A carpenter does not come up to you and say "Listen to me discourse about the art of carpentry," but he makes a contract for a house and builds it...Do the same thing yourself. Eat like a man, drink like a man...get married, have children, take part in civic life, learn how to put up with insults, and tolerate other people...
