...among rival lovers."
-Socrates 380 BC
"But such a government is impossible if men behave like beggars, turning to politics because of what is lacking in their private lives and hoping to find their good in the public business. When office and the power of governing are treated like prizes to be won in battle the result must be a civil war that will destroy the city along with the office seekers."
