More quotes by Plato
He whom loves touches not walks in darkness.
Plato

Plato

Plato

Plato
Courage is a kind of salvation.

The knowledge of which geometry aims is the knowledge of the eternal.
Plato
The most important stage of any enterprise is the beginning.
Plato
No soul willfully does wrong.
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
There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is terrible, wild, and lawless.
Plato
We ought to live sacrificing, and singing, and dancing.
Plato
What is better adapted than the festive use of wine in the first place to test and in the second place to train the character of a man, if care be taken in the use of it? What is there cheaper or more innocent?
Plato
I have this tattooed on my left side! I love the saying and it's a perfect description of Karma, don't judge/discriminate and don't do to someone what you wouldn't want done to you.
Plato
