More quotes by Plato
Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men.
Plato
Perfect wisdom has four parts: Wisdom, the principle of doing things aright. Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private. Fortitude, the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it. Temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.
Plato
A State would be happy where philosophers were kings, or kings philosophers.
Plato
A delightful form of government, anarchic and motley, assigning a kind of equality indiscriminately to equals and unequals alike!
Plato
As to the artists, do we not know that he only of them whom love inspires has the light of fame?-he whom love touches not walks in darkness.
Plato
Arithmetic has a very great and elevating effect, compelling the soul to reason about abstract number, and rebelling against the introduction of visible or tngible objects into the argument.
Plato
Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself.
Plato
The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge.
Plato
As there are misanthropists or haters of men, so also are there misologists, or haters of ideas.
Plato
To do wrong is the greatest of evils.
Plato
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.
Plato
The like is not the friend of the like in as far as he is like still the good may be the friend of the good in as far as he is good.
Plato
Neither do the ignorant love wisdom or desire to become wise for this is the grievous thing about ignorance, that those who are neither good nor beautiful think they are good enough, and do not desire that which they do not think they are lacking.
Plato
A man's duty is to find out where the truth is, or if he cannot, at least to take the best possible human doctrine and the hardest to disprove, and to ride on this like a raft over the waters of life.
Plato
For every man who has learned to fight in arms will desire to learn the proper arrangement of an army, which is the sequel of the lesson.
Plato
Our greatest blessings come to us by way of madness, provided the madness is given us by divine gift.
Plato
Other people are likely not to be aware that those who pursue philosophy aright study nothing but dying and being dead. Now if this is true, it would be absurd to be eager for nothing but this all their lives, and then to be troubled when that came for which they had all along been eagerly practicing.
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
When you feel grateful, you become great, and eventually attract great things.
Plato
All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
Plato
