But it is God that makes proclamation to us, and He must be believed. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Wherefore the Scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be put to shame." [2752] Accordingly Simonides justly writes, "It is said that virtue dwells among all but inaccessible rocks, but that she speedily traverses a pure place. Nor is she visible to the eyes of all mortals. He who is not penetrated by heart-vexing sweat will not scale the summit of manliness." And Pindar says:--
"But the anxious thoughts of youths, revolving with toils,
Will find glory: and in time their deeds
Will in resplendent ether splendid shine."
Aeschylus, too, having grasped this thought, says:--
"To him who toils is due,
As product of his toil, glory from the gods."
"For great Fates attain great destinies," according to Heraclitus:--
"And what slave is there, who is careless of death?"
Clement of Alexandria in Print
