Translate the following passage into Greek Prose :

-

So it is that men live all their lives from day to day, in the gratification of casual appetites, at one time intoxicating and weakening themselves with over indulgence in music, at another going into training, sometimes idling and neglecting everything, sometimes living like a student of philosophy. And often such a man takes part in public affairs, and, starting up, speaks and acts according to the impulse of the moment. Now he follows eagerly in the steps of certain great generals, because he covets their distinctions; and anon he takes to trade, because he envies the successful trader. And there is no order or constraining rule in his life; but yet he calls this life of his pleasant and liberal, and happy, and follows it out to the end. And such is the life of the man who has for his motto Liberty and Equality.
