On the Unchangeableness of God

Philo of Alexandria · Parte 163

[163] In the case of those who live according to impulse, the right hand is temerity and the left hand cowardice. As regards those who are illiberal in the management of money, on the right hand stands stinginess, and on the left hand extravagant prodigality; and those men, who are very subtle in calculating, judge craftiness to be desirable and simplicity to be a thing to be shunned. Again, some persons incline towards [86] [87] [88] superstition as being placed on the right hand, and flee from impiety as a thing to be avoided on the left.
