Hesiod, Works and Days 270-2
νῦν δὴ ἐγὼ μήτ’ αὐτὸς ἐν ἀνθρώποισι δίκαιος
εἴην μήτ’ ἐμὸς υἱός, ἐπεὶ κακὸν ἄνδρα δίκαιον
ἔμμεναι, εἰ μείζω γε δίκην ἀδικώτερος ἕξει·
But now, may neither I myself be just among men, nor any son of mine, since it is a bane for a man to be just, if the more unjust man receives greater justice.
