One cannot make a slave of a free person, for a free person is free even in a prison.
Plato
You cannot conceive the many without the one.
Plato
In order to seek one's own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life.
Plato
Whenever a person strives, by the help of dialectic, to start in pursuit of every reality by a simple process of reason, independent of all sensuous information - never flinching, until by an act of the pure intelligence he has grasped the real nature of good - he arrives at the very end of the intellectual world.
Plato
The Earth is like one of those balls made of twelve pieces of skin.
Plato
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
I can show you that the art of calculation has to do with odd and even numbers in their numerical relations to themselves and to each other.
Plato
Love consists in feeling the Sacred One beating inside the loved one.
Plato

Man never legislates,but destinies and accidents,happening in all sorts of ways,legislate in all sorts of ways.
Plato
The judge should not be young, he should have learned to know evil, not from his own soul, but from late and long observation of the nature of evil in others.
Plato
But he who has been earnest in the love of knowledge and of true wisdom, and has exercised his intellect more than any other part of him, must have thoughts immortal and divine. If he attain truth, and in so far as human nature is capable of sharing in immortality, he must altogether be immortal.
Plato
You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
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
Nothing in human affairs is worth any great anxiety.
Plato
Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.
Plato
No soul willfully does wrong.
Plato
The greater part of instruction is being reminded of things you already know.
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
For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.
Plato
