But ye who have store of good, who are sated and overflow, Restrain your swelling soul, and still it and keep it low. Let the heart that is great within you be trained a lowlier way. Ye shall not have all at your will, and we will not for ever obey. Aristotle quoting Solon. The Athenian Constitution. Part 5.
