Education

Diogenes Laertius 6.2.68 (Diogenes; tr. R.D. Hicks):
Education, according to him, is a controlling grace to the young, consolation to the old, wealth to the poor, and ornament to the rich.

ττὴν παιδείαν εἶπε τοῖς μὲν νέοις σωφροσύνην, τοῖς δὲ πρεσβυτέροις παραμυθίαν, τοῖς δὲ πένησι πλοῦτον, τοῖς δὲ πλουσίοις κόσμον εἶναι.
