Aristotle
For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.
Aristotle

Aristotle

Aristotle
