Quote by Plato

Man never legislates, but destinies and accidents, happening in all sorts of ways, legislate in all sorts of ways.

Man never legislates, but destinies and accidents, happening

Summary

This quote suggests that human beings do not have the power to control or determine the direction of their lives or societies through legislation. Instead, it emphasizes that the course of events and unintended circumstances shape and dictate the laws and regulations that govern us. It implies that laws are often a product of destiny, chance, and unpredictable occurrences that influence the ways in which societies are governed. Consequently, human actions and intentions alone cannot effectively legislate the course of events, as external forces play a significant role in shaping our lives and the rules that govern them.
