So presumably a man who wishes to make other people better
（whether few or many） by discipline, must endeavor to acquire the
science of legislation—assuming that it is possible to make us good by laws. For
to mold aright the character of any and every person that presents himself is not a task
that can be done by anybody, but only （if at all） by the man with
scientific knowledge, just as is the case in medicine and the other professions involving
a system of treatment and the exercise of prudence.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
