O youth or young man, who fancy that you are neglected by the gods, know that if you become worse, you shall go to worse souls, or if better to the better... In every succession of life and death, you will do and suffer what like may fitly suffer at the hands of like. This is the justice of heaven.
PlatoLife must be lived as play, playing certain games, making sacrifices, singing and dancing, and then a man will be able to propitiate the gods.
PlatoThere should exist among the citizens neither extreme poverty nor again excessive wealth, for both are productive of great evil.
Plato
