More quotes by Plato
Nothing ever is, everything is becoming.
Plato

Plato
Self conquest is the greatest of victories.
Plato
The gods created certain kinds of beings to replenish our bodies... they are the trees and the plants and the seeds.
Plato
No one knows whether death may not be the greatest good that can happen to man.
Plato

Plato
If we are to keep our flock at the highest pitch of excellence, there should be as many unions of the best of both sexes, and as few of the inferior as possible, and that only the offspring of the better unions should be kept.
Plato
Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, you cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.
Plato
A true artist is someone who gives birth to a new reality.
Plato
God ever geometrizes.
Plato

An old man is twice a child, and so is a drunken man.
Plato
. . . the triumph of my art is in thoroughly examining whether the thought which the mind of the young man brings forth is a false idol or a noble and true birth.
Plato
By education I mean that training in excellence from youth upward which makes a man passionately desire to be a perfect citizen, and teaches him to rule, and to obey, with justice. This is the only education which deserves the name.
Plato
The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so.
Plato
Our greatest blessings come to us by way of madness, provided the madness is given us by divine gift.
Plato
... for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves.
Plato
Anything worth knowing is already known and must be remembered and reclaimed by the soul.
Plato
May not the wolf, as the proverb says, claim a hearing?
Plato
Great is the issue at stake, greater than appears, whether a man is to be good or bad. And what will any one be profited if, under the influence of money or power, he neglect justice and virtue?
Plato
