Justice is a way of life more noble and more pleasing

Men most afflicted with unreason concede that justice is a way of life more noble and more pleasing to the gods than injustice but at the same time believe that those who follow it will live in worse case than those who have chosen the way of evil. Isocrates. On The Peace. Speech 8. Section 35.
