Ancient Greek

καὶ οἱ πολλάκις ἢ λεληθότες ἢ μὴ ἐζημιωμένοι, καὶ οἱ πολλάκις ἀποτετυχηκότες (εἰσὶ γάρ τινες καὶ ἐν τοῖς τοιούτοις, ὥσπερ ἐν τοῖς πολεμικοῖς, οἷοι ἀναμάχεσθαι).

J. H. Freese, 1926

And those who have often been undetected or have escaped punishment; and those who have often been unsuccessful; for in such cases, as in actual warfare, there are always men ready to return to the fight.

Il y a aussi ceux qui ont souvent échappé à la détection ou au châtiment, et ceux qui ont souvent échoué; car, dans de tels cas, comme dans la guerre véritable, il se trouve toujours des hommes prêts à retourner au combat.
