Plato
Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.
Plato
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
Plato
So the state founded on natural principles is wise as a whole in virtue of the knowledge inherent in its smallest constituent class, which exercises authority over the rest.

Plato

Plato
Man was not made for himself alone
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
Let us affirm what seems to be the truth, that, whether one is or is not, one and the others in relation to themselves and one another, all of them, in every way, are and are not, and appear to be and appear not to be.
Plato
The music masters familiarize children's minds with rhythms and melodies, thus making them more civilized, more balanced, better adjusted in themselves, and more capable in whatever they say or do, for rhythm and harmony are essential to the whole of life.
Plato
Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.
Plato
Haughtiness lives under the same roof with solitude.
Plato
Until philosophers hold power, neither states nor individuals will have rest from trouble.
Plato
