You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
PlatoEach man is capable of doing one thing well. If he attempts several, he will fail to achieve distinction in any.
PlatoIs what is moral commanded by God because it is moral, or is it moral because it is commanded by God?
Plato
