Plato
To win over your bad self is the grandest and foremost of victories.
Plato

Plato

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
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

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
...that not life, but a good life, is to be chiefly valued.
Plato
Equals, the proverb goes, delight in equals.
Plato
There are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, and a third which imitates them.
Plato
The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole.
Plato
An old man is twice a child, and so is a drunken man.
Plato
There is no necessity for the man who means to be an orator to understand what is really just but only what would appear so to the majority of those who will give judgment and not what is really good or beautiful but whatever will appear so because persuasion comes from that and not from the truth.
Plato
Man was not made for himself alone
Plato
Every unjust man is unjust against his will.
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
Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.
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
