More quotes by Plato
The most beautiful motion is that which accomplishes the greatest results with the least amount of effort.
Plato
You cannot conceive the many without the one.
Plato
The contemplation of beauty causes the soul to grow wings.
Plato
The soul is like a pair of winged horses and a charioteer joined in natural union.
Plato
Man was not made for himself alone
Plato
The laws of democracy remain a dead letter, its freedom is anarchy, its equality the equality of unequals
Plato
. . . the triumph of my art is in thoroughly examining whether the thought which the mind of the young man brings forth is a false idol or a noble and true birth.
Plato
The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they don't know...How, then, can the dog be anything other than a lover of learning since it defines what's its own and what's alien.
Plato
We see many instances of cities going down like sinking ships to their destruction. There have been such wrecks in the past and there surely will be others in the future, caused by the wickedness of captains and crews alike. For these are guilty men, whose sin is supreme ignorance of what matters most.
Plato
The most important part of education is right training in the nursery. The soul of the child in his play should be trained to that sort of excellence in which, when he grows to manhood, he will have to be perfected.
Plato
Courage is a kind of salvation.
Plato
To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.
Plato
Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large.
Plato
The essence of knowledge is self-knowledge.
Plato
What a handsome face he had: but if he were naked you would forget he had a face, he is so beautiful in every way.
Plato
Science is nothing but perception.
Plato
So the well educated man can learn to sing and dance well.
Plato
The most important stage of any enterprise is the beginning.
Plato
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.
Plato
A person who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying he or she ought only to consider whether in doing anything he or she is doing right or wrong- acting the part of a good person or a bad person.
Plato
