More quotes by Plato
The laws of democracy remain a dead letter, its freedom is anarchy, its equality the equality of unequals
Plato
The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge.
Plato
Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.
Plato

Plato
When a beautiful soul harmonizes with a beautiful form, and the two are cast in one mould, that will be the fairest of sights to him who has the eye to contemplate the vision.

Even in reaching for the beautiful there is beauty, and also in suffering whatever it is that one suffers en route.
Plato
Between knowledge of what really exists and ignorance of what does not exist lies the domain of opinion. It is more obscure than knowledge, but clearer than ignorance.
Plato
Our love for our children springs from the soul's greatest yearning for immortality.
Plato
Prefer diligence before idleness, unless you esteem rust above brightness.
Plato
To love rightly is to love what is orderly and beautiful in an educated and disciplined way.
