Anatoly Dombrovsky. Pericles (№ 403120)

- What do we compare the mind to? Socrates asked.
"With light," Replied Pericles. - Light that pierces the darkness and allows you to move forward confidently. This light is the light of the soul. The soul of fools does not shine. Yes, they do not go forward, but only circle along the beaten paths and paths, not having knowledge of either the past or the future.
- Nicely said, Pericles. But look what a mistake you made. The intelligent, illuminating the way, make their way forward at the cost of the great efforts of the soul, and the fools follow them along the beaten path, not having to worry. It turns out that the smart work for the sake of fools. Aren't they stupid?
