Lycurgus would never reduce his laws into writing; nay, there is a Rhetra expressly to forbid it. For he thought that the most material points, and such as most directly tended to the public welfare, being imprinted on the hearts of their youth by a good discipline, would be sure to remain, and would find a stronger security, than any compulsion would be, in the principles of action formed in them by their best lawgiver, education. And as for things of lesser importance, as pecuniary contracts, and such like, the forms of which have to be changed as occasion requires, he thought it the best way to prescribe no positive rule or inviolable usage in such cases, willing that their manner and form should be altered according to the circumstances of time, and determinations of men of sound judgment. Every end and object of law and enactment it was his design education should effect.

白话
莱库古从不把法律写成文字,甚至有一条“瑞特拉”神谕明确禁止这样做。他认为,最重要的、直接关乎公共福祉的条款,通过良好的教育印在年轻人心中,就会牢固留存,比任何强制都更安全,因为教育是最好的立法者,能在人心中形成行动原则。至于次要的事情,如金钱契约等,形式需随情况变化,他认为最好不要规定固定规则或不可侵犯的惯例,而应让它们根据时势和明智者的判断来调整。他设计的教育要达成法律和法令的一切目的。核心是:核心价值靠教育内化,细节规则保持灵活。
