We must therefore by some means secure that the character shall have at the outset a
natural affinity for virtue, loving what is noble and hating what is base. And it is
difficult to obtain a right education in virtue from youth up without being brought up
under right laws; for to live temperately and hardily is not pleasant to most men,
especially when young; hence the nurture and exercises of the young should be regulated by
law, since temperance and hardiness will not be painful when they have become habitual.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
