Quote by Plato

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly

Summary

This quote suggests that truly virtuous individuals have an inherent sense of responsibility and do not require external rules or regulations to act ethically. On the other hand, individuals with malicious intentions will always find loopholes and ways to evade the laws designed to constrain their actions. In essence, the quote highlights the limitations of laws in curbing the behavior of morally corrupt individuals and emphasizes the importance of personal integrity and intrinsic moral compass in guiding one's actions.
