Critobulus on Saturn, Mars, Sol, and Venus

[sdi]

We beautiful people have a right to be proud of this fact, that whereas the strong man must get the good things of his desire by toil, and the brave man by adventure, and the wise man by his eloquence, the beautiful person can attain all his ends without doing anything at all.

(Critobulus; as quoted by Xenophon, Symposium IV; and as translated by Otis Johnson Todd)
