More quotes by Plato
Harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order.
Plato
The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.
Plato
Socrates said that, from above, the Earth looks like one of those twelve-patched leathern balls.
Plato
He whom Love touches not walks in darkness.
Plato
Virtue is voluntary, vice involuntary.
Plato
Not by force shall the children learn, but through play
Plato
Adultery is the injury of nature.
Plato
Not only is the old man twice a child, but also the man who is drunk.
Plato
They assembled together and dedicated these as the first-fruits of their love to Apollo in his Delphic temple, inscribing there those maxims which are on every tongue- 'know thyselP and 'Nothing overmuch.'
Plato
To a good man nothing that happens is evil.
Plato
There is no necessity for the man who means to be an orator to understand what is really just but only what would appear so to the majority of those who will give judgment and not what is really good or beautiful but whatever will appear so because persuasion comes from that and not from the truth.
Plato
Your dog is your only philosopher.
Plato
One should turn towards the main ocean of the-beautiful-in-the-world so that one may by, contemplation of this Form, bring forth in all their splendor many fair fruits of discourse and meditation in a plenteous crop of philosophy.
Plato
I do not live to play, but I play in order that I may live, and return with greater zest to the labors of life.
Plato
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.
Plato
Freedom in a democracy is the glory of the state, and, therefore, in a democracy only will the freeman of nature deign to dwell.
Plato
Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large.
Plato
The unexamined life is not worth living for a human being.
Plato
Anything worth knowing is already known and must be remembered and reclaimed by the soul.
Plato
A fit of laughter, which has been indulged to excess, almost always produces a violent reaction.
Plato
