No man does evil voluntarily, knowing it to be evil.
— from Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates, 3rd ed. Volume 2 by George Grote
Good and evil being identical with pleasurable and painful, it is ridiculous to say that a man does evil voluntarily, knowing it to be evil, under the overpowering influence of pleasure: that is, under the 293 overpowering influence of good.
— from Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates, 3rd ed. Volume 2 by George Grote
