On Study

And hence this of all things is most to be studied: in what manner every one of us, omitting other disciplines, shall […] be able to […] discern a good life and a bad; and to choose everywhere, and at all times, the best of what is possible[: …] pronouncing that to be the worse which shall lead the soul to become more unjust, and that to be the better life which shall lead it to become more just, and to dismiss every other consideration.
(Socrates, as quoted by Plato in Book X of The Republic and translated by Thomas Taylor)
