“Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy.”

Plutus
“Ne zaman Ploutos eskisi gibi görür oldu ondan beri kimse biz tanrılara ne buhur, ne defne, ne arpa ekmeği, ne kurban, ne başka bir şey takdim eder oldu.”
