Thucydides (c. 460-400 BCE)
"My own opinion is that when the whole state is on the right course it is a better thing for each separate individual than when private interests are satisfied but the state as a whole is going downhill."
- History of the Peloponnesian War (Book II, section 60) by Thucydides, translated by Rex Warner (Penguin Classics, 1972).
