Aristotle (c. 384-322 BCE)
“It is the bad man who ought to feel shame, because he is the sort of man to do a shameful deed; but it is absurd to think that being so constituted as to feel shame at doing something shameful makes you a good man.”
- The Nicomachean Ethics (Bekker number 1128b) by Aristotle, translated by J. A. K. Thomson (Penguin Classics, 2004).
