More quotes by Plato
Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.
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
The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things.
Plato
A drunkard is unprofitable for any kind of good service.
Plato
Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.
Plato
Knowledge of the soul is the only universal truth and the only wisdom - all other knowledge is transient.
Plato
I take it that our state, having been founded and built up on the right lines, is good in the complete sense of the word.
Plato
For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.
Plato
In order to seek one's own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life.
Plato
Geometry existed before creation.
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
He who can properly define and divide is to be considered a god.
Plato
You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
Plato
No one is so cowardly that Love could not inspire him to heroism.
Plato
The only thing worse than suffering an injustice is committing an injustice.
Plato
And tell him it's quite true that the best of the philosophers are of no use to their fellows but that he should blame, not the philosophers, but those who fail to make use of them.
Plato
Harmony is a symphony, and symphony is an agreement but an agreement of disagreements while they disagree there cannot be you cannot harmonize that which disagrees.
Plato
There is truth in wine and children
Plato
The ludicrous state of solid geometry made me pass over this branch.
Plato
Let no one ignorant of Mathematics enter here.
