At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.
-Aristotle
I feel that this quote explains the meaning of being controlled in a good and bad way. If there are rules that a society has to follow and all are followed, then that society can be well behaved as well make progress. People will have the urge to make progress ingrained in their brains, so the society ends up as a successful group. When a society is unrestrained, the people tend to go crazy over power and do as their savage instints tell them to do. That is when chaos erupts and no progress is made, making them the worst from being separated from law and justice.
