More quotes by Plato
The tools which would teach men their own use would be beyond price.
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
To win over your bad self is the grandest and foremost of victories.
Plato
Better to be unborn than untaught, for ignorance is the root of all misfortune.
Plato
I do not think it is permitted that a better man be harmed by a worse.
Plato
The beginning is half of the whole.
Plato
And first he will see the shadows best, next the reflections of men and other objects in the water, and then the objects themselves, then he will gaze upon the light of the moon and the stars and the spangled heaven...Last of all he will be able to see the sun.
Plato
A delightful form of government, anarchic and motley, assigning a kind of equality indiscriminately to equals and unequals alike!
Plato
Putting the shoe on the wrong foot.
Plato
A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books.
Plato
They would be subject to no one, neither to lawful ruler nor to the reign of law, but would be altogether and absolutely free. That is the way they got their tyrants, for either servitude or freedom, when it goes to extremes, is an utter bane, while either in due measure is altogether a boon.
Plato
Man never legislates,but destinies and accidents,happening in all sorts of ways,legislate in all sorts of ways.
Plato
Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
Plato
What if the man could see Beauty Itself, pure, unalloyed, stripped of mortality, and all its pollution, stains, and vanities, unchanging, divine,... the man becoming in that communion, the friend of God,... ?
Plato
In good speaking, should not the mind of the speaker know the truth of the matter about which he is to speak.
Plato
Those who have knowledge are more confident than those who have no knowledge, and they are more confident after they have learned than before.
Plato
If someone separated the art of counting and measuring and weighing from all the other arts, what was left of each (of the others) would be, so to speak, insignificant.
Plato
For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
Plato
Those who practice philosophy in the right way are in training for dying and they fear death least of all men.
Plato
