Part of The Grouch by Menander. The speech is about how both the affluent and the destitute can see their fortunes reversed. My translation of the first line (alt text has full page):

Among all men—the successes as well as the failures—I think there is a flip-side to their positions in life.

A page of Greek text for The Grouch by Menander. My translation:&10;&10;Among all men – the successes as well as the failures – I think there is a flip-side to their positions in life. &10;&10;For the successful man, his prosperity is incidental and lasts only so long as he has the strength to bear this success above wrongdoing. But if he’s ever led astray by his affluence, then I suppose right then and there, the hands of fortune switch around. &10;&10;On the other “hand”: The men in dire need, if they do no evil even as they lack any worldly means – and nobly bear their common destiny and establish trust – then they’ll expect their lots to improve. &10;&10;This is what I’m saying: You may be exceedingly rich, but don’t bank on it – and don’t look down on us castaways, either. Always show onlookers that you deserve lasting prosperity.
