Self-Determination

That which one becomes almost always and for the most part depends on that which one wishes to be and upon how one finds oneself regarding the soul.

Plato, Laws 904 C.

ὅπῃ γὰρ ἂν ἐπιθυμῇ καὶ ὁποῖός τις ὢν τὴν ψυχήν, ταύτῃ σχεδὸν ἑκάστοτε καὶ τοιοῦτοςγίγνεται ἅπας ἡμῶν ὡς τὸ πολύ.
