Aristotle

Special care should be taken of the health of the inhabitants, which will depend chiefly on the healthiness of the locality and of the quarter to which they are exposed, and secondly on the use of pure water; this latter point is by no means a secondary consideration.

And they must make a difference: for the children grow up to be citizens, and half the free persons in a state are women.
