- "ἐπεὶ δέ, τοῦ βίου μεταβολὴν ἅμα ταῖσ τύχαισ καὶ ταῖσ φύσεσι λαμβάνοντοσ, ἐξωθοῦσα τὸ περιττὸν ἡ χρεία κρωβύλουσ τε χρυσοῦσ ἀφῄρει καὶ ξυστίδασ μαλακὰσ ἀπημφίαζε καί που καὶ κόμην σοβαρωτέραν ἀπέκειρε καὶ ὑπέλυσε κόθορνον, οὐ φαύλωσ ἐθιζομένων ἀντικαλλωπίζεσθαι πρὸσ τὴν πολυτέλειαν εὐτελείᾳ καὶ τὸ ἀφελὲσ καὶ λιτὸν ἐν κόσμῳ τίθεσθαι μᾶλλον ἢ τὸ σοβαρὸν καὶ περίεργον· (Plutarch, De Pythiae oraculis, section 246)
- ἐπιστάμεθα γὰρ καὶ τοὺσ γεωργοὺσ ξυστίδασ ἀμφιέσαντεσ καὶ χρυσὸν περιθέντεσ πρὸσ ἡδονὴν ἐργάζεσθαι κελεύειν τὴν γῆν, καὶ τοὺσ κεραμέασ κατακλίναντεσ ἐπὶ δεξιὰ πρὸσ τὸ πῦρ διαπίνοντάσ τε καὶ εὐωχουμένουσ, τὸν τροχὸν παραθεμένουσ, ὅσον ἂν ἐπιθυμῶσι κεραμεύειν, καὶ τοὺσ ἄλλουσ πάντασ τοιούτῳ τρόπῳ μακαρίουσ ποιεῖν, ἵνα δὴ ὅλη ἡ πόλισ εὐδαιμονῇ. (Plato, Republic, book 4 14:1)
