Thucydides (c. 460-400 BCE)
"Those who really deserve praise are the people who, while human enough to enjoy power, nevertheless pay more attention to justice than they are compelled to do by their situation."
- History of the Peloponnesian War (Book I, section 76) by Thucydides, translated by Rex Warner (Penguin Classics, 1972).
