• αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 10.10:

Mirum est enim ingenium, ἤθους ἐπιμελητέον.

He has, no doubt, a wonderful personality; we need to keep an eye on his manners.

• βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 6.2:

Sed est magnum illud quidem verum tamen multiplex pueri ingenium; in quo ego regendo habeo negoti satis.

But there is the boy's personality; it is indeed truly great, although complicated. I have enough work to do keeping it in line.

• γʹ Cassius of Parma, ap. Cicero, Ad Familiares 12.13:

Animum tibi nostrum fortasse probavimus; ingenium diutina servitus certe, qualecumque est, minus tamen quam erat, passa est videri.

I have probably already proven my character to you, although my lengthy servitude surely let my personality—such as it is—seem less than it was.
