205v, "Socrates ipse, qui, diximus, duas eodem tempore uxores accepit, qui cum omnium incuriosi tractarent et hac de re ab amicis obiurgaretur quod nimia eius patientia mulieres abuterentur, rendere solebat hanc sibi viam optimam esse ad philosophiae exercitationem: sic eum consuescere ad tolerandas fores contumelias si prius domi perferre didicisset.
Having relied on Virgil (Georgics, II, 272, 13: "'Adeo in teneris consuescere multum est',"), Quintilian draws this condusion, which Crenne adopts: "Frangas enim citius quam corrigas, quae in pravum induruerunt" (58).
