More quotes by Plato
The good is the beautiful.
Plato
Sin is disease, deformity, and weakness.
Plato
To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise without really being wise, for it is to think that we know what we do not know.
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
To honor with hymns and panegyrics those who are still alive is not safe a man should run his course and make a fair ending, and then we will praise him and let praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished in virtue.
Plato
The like is not the friend of the like in as far as he is like still the good may be the friend of the good in as far as he is good.
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
It gives me great pleasure to converse with the aged. They have been over the road that all of us must travel, and know where it is rough and difficult and where it is level and easy.
Plato
The poets are nothing but interpreters of the gods, each one possessed by the divinity to whom he is in bondage.
Plato
Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.
Plato
Music is that which takes silence and brings it to life.
Plato
I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.
Plato
Even in reaching for the beautiful there is beauty, and also in suffering whatever it is that one suffers en route.
Plato
Grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or endure.
Plato
As the proverb says, a good beginning is half the business and to have begun well is praised by all.
Plato
Adultery is the injury of nature.
Plato
It seems to me that whatever else is beautiful apart from asbsolute beauty is beautiful because it partakes of that absolute beauty, and for no other reason. Do you accept this kind of causality?
Plato
'But the man who is ready to taste every form of knowledge, is glad to learn and never satisfied - he's the man who deserves to be called a philosopher, isn't he?'
Plato
You cannot conceive the many without the one...The study of the unit is among those that lead the mind on and turn it to the vision of reality.
Plato
When I hear a man discoursing of virtue, or of any sort of wisdom, who is a true man and worthy of his theme, I am delighted beyond measure: and I compare the man and his words, and note the harmony and correspondence of them. And such an one I deem to be the true musician, having in himself a fairer harmony than that of the lyre.
Plato
