Today's quotation:

Those who surpass their fellow citizens in virtue are no
longer a part of the city. The city's law is not for them,
since they are a law to themselves.

Aristotle

Questions to consider:

How would you define a "life of virtue"?

What kinds of laws--if any--do you break regularly? What kinds of penalties do you face?

Are there any laws that you feel unfairly keep you from being or expressing yourself? What might you do about those laws?
For further thought:

When people are pure, laws are useless;
when people are corrupt, laws are broken.

Benjamin Disraeli
