[The Cretans have] more wit than words.
Plato
For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato

Plato
Prefer diligence before idleness, unless you esteem rust above brightness.
Plato
Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole, and not that of any one class.
Plato
Man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door of his prison and run away. . . . A man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons hiom.
Plato
Rhythm and harmony enter most powerfully into the inner most part of the soul and lay forcible hands upon it, bearing grace with them, so making graceful him who is rightly trained.
Plato
