MKSixer - HALP! You are likely more cultured than I, but I've always attributed the quote "The just man disobeys the unjust law" to Plato, in reference to Socrates death. However, in google searching it, I cannot find any support for that reference - was it Plato?
Seems like it may be more St. Thomas Aquinas, or Crito saying it to Socrates. |

But, to the above, while I was searching through Plato's quotes, I came across one that I quite like (admittedly, not a word for word translation apparently, but certainly the spirit to which he said it):
"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato |

One of my favorite things to say, and a hard lesson I've had to teach my son:
Be kind, but never expect it in return. It's a riff off of something my dad used to tell me, and it's something I model myself after.
