Plato

Plato
To a good man nothing that happens is evil.

Plato
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories... The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.
Plato

Plato
Man...is a tame or civilized animal never the less, he requires proper instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals he becomes the most divine and most civilized but if he be insufficiently or ill- educated he is the most savage of earthly creatures.
Plato
The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole.
Plato
He who is gracious to his lover under the impression that he is rich, and is disappointed of his gains because he turns out to be poor, is disgraced all the same: for he has done his best to show that he would give himself up to any one's uses base for the sake of money but this is not honourable.
Plato
