To all the kids out there who read Sarah Palin’s Twitter (hopefully, very few), she has a message to all of you. Quoting Plato!

The best part is, while this quote has been attributed to Plato in some Palin-esque books in the past, it’s never been proven or legitimately believed that Plato ever said this. The quote is most likely a corrupted excerpt from the 1670 Etiquette Guide (lol), by Richard Lindgard.

Take heed of playing often or deep at Dice and Games of Chance, for that is more chargeable than the seven deadly sins; Yet you may allow your self a certain easie Sum to spend at Play, to gratifie Friends, and pass over the Winter Nights, and that will make you indifferent for the Event. If you would read a man’s Disposition, see him Game, you will then learn more of him in one hour, than in seven Years Conversation, and little Wagers will try him as soon as great Stakes, for then he is off his Guard.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.
