An idea from Laws

A ruler who cannot say what the city aims at is no ruler. So the council that guards the laws must know how courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom are one, and hold the proof that there are gods. Give the city that head and the dream becomes a waking reality.

From Laws by Plato
