More quotes by Plato
Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
Plato
All the gold upon the earth and all the gold beneath it, does not compensate for lack of virtue.
Plato
And yet the artist will go on with his work without knowing in some way if any of his representations are sound or unsound. The artist knows nothing worth mentioning about the subjects he represents, and that art is a form of play, not to be taken seriously.
Plato
Love is the pursuit of the whole.
Plato
Is virtue something that can be taught?
Plato

Plato
Better to complete a small task well, than to do much imperfectly.
Plato

Plato
One cannot make a slave of a free person, for a free person is free even in a prison.
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
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
Music then is simply the result of the effects of Love on rhythm and harmony.
Plato
Science is nothing but perception.
Plato
Experience proves that anyone who has studied geometry is infinitely quicker to grasp difficult subjects than one who has not.
Plato
Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.
Plato
