Plato
The phrase "To each his own" is a translation of one of the principles enunciated by Plato in his work "The State." This thought appeared in his discourse on what justice is and how it should work in the human world. Justice is the creation of conditions in which members of society do not prevent one another from doing what they need to do, but allow one another to develop without interfering in someone else's life. This phrase has two meanings. On the one hand, it is the duty of every person to use his abilities and skills for the state and society, that is, to occupy a certain niche in which he appropriately takes his place, in which he is competent. For every craftsman there is his own business. On the other hand, it is a question of a fair distribution of resources, both material and mental. And the mental to a greater extent. Every member of society has the right to receive what he has earned through his labor and his position. According to these two principles, the ideal state can exist.

Cicero
But fame came to the expression not because of its derivation into postulates by Plato, but after its use in his writings On Laws, On Duties, and On the Limits of Good and Evil by Cicero. Here the phrase took on a more juridical character, as it entered into such a provision as "Justice is recognized by what each receives his own.
Over time, the legal meaning of the phrase has been partly lost, has become a mass phenomenon, and was used most often in the second meaning put in by Plato, that is, in the sense that everyone has the opportunity and full right to get "his" for the work done, the contribution made.
