When it is a question of settling private disputes, everyone is equal before the law; when it is a question of putting one person before another in positions of public responsibility, what counts is not membership of a particular class, but the actual ability which the man possesses. No one is kept out of government because of poverty. And, just as our political life is free and open, so is our day-to-day life in our relations with each other.” (Recorded by Thucydides) (In your book on pg 145)
