— Plato

Simplified Meaning:
For a country to be fair and good, the people who live in it need to be fair and good first. Imagine a school where students are kind and respectful to each other. Because of their good behavior, the whole school becomes a pleasant place to be. Similarly, if citizens are honest and care about doing the right thing, their country will reflect those values in how it runs. If people cheat, lie, or are selfish, the country will have problems with corruption and unfairness. To make the government fair, each person in the country has to start by being fair themselves. For example, if everyone makes an effort to help others and follow the rules, the whole community benefits and enjoys a better quality of life.
