Plato
I shall never alter my ways, not even if I have to die many times.
Plato

Plato
A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.
Plato

Plato
There is no harm in repeating a good thing.
Plato
Time is the moving imago of the unmoving eternity.
Plato
