Clement of Alexandria (153-217)

Fragments

Translated by William Wilson

Collection VIII

Fragment 2


Some flatterers were congratulating a wise man. He said to them, If you stop praising me, I think myself something great after your departure; but if you do not stop praising me, I guess my own impurity.

Feigned praise is worth less than true censure.
