Read the passage from Plato’s Republic. Who are to be our rulers? First, the elder must rule the younger; and the best of the elders will be the best guardians. Now they will be the best who love their subjects most, and think that they have a common interest with them in the welfare of the state. These we must select; but they must be watched . . . to see whether they have retained the same opinions and held out against force and enchantment. For time and persuasion and the love of pleasure may enchant a man into a change of purpose, and the force of grief and pain may compel him. And therefore our guardians must be men who have been tried by many tests . . . and have been passed first through danger, then through pleasure, and at every age have come out of such trials victorious . . . in full command of themselves and their principles; having all their faculties in harmonious exercise for their country's good.

–The Republic, Plato
