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.

More quotes by 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 ludicrous state of solid geometry made me pass over this branch.
Plato
Take a look around, then, and see that none of the uninitiated are listening. Now by the uninitiated I mean the people who believe in nothing but what they can grasp in their hands, and who will not allow that action or generation or anything invisible can have real existence.
Plato
All learning is in the learner, not the teacher.
Plato
To do wrong is the greatest of evils.
Plato
There should be no element of slavery in learning. Enforced exercise does no harm to the body, but enforced learning will not stay in the mind. So avoid compulsion, and let your children's lessons take the form of play.
Plato
The honour of parents is a fair and noble treasure to their posterity, but to have the use of a treasure of wealth and honour, and to leave none to your successors, because you have neither money nor reputation of your own, is alike base and dishonourable.
Plato
The god of love lives in a state of need. It is a need. It is an urge. It is a homeostatic imbalance. Like hunger and thirst, it's almost impossible to stamp out.
Plato
When you swear, swear seriously and solemnly, but at the same time with a smile, for a smile is the twin sister of seriousness.
Plato
It is right to give every man his due.
Plato
Wine fills the heart with courage.
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
If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just man to his enemies but kindness to his friends, he was not wise who said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared to be just to injure any one.
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
God is a geometrician.
Plato
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
Plato
You must base the Wisdom on Love.
Plato
And the first step, as you know, is always what matters most, particularly when we are dealing with those who are young and tender. That is the time when they are taking shape and when any impression we choose to make leaves a permanent mark.
Plato
Don't ask a poet to explain himself. He cannot.
Plato
Those who practice philosophy in the right way are in training for dying and they fear death least of all men.
Plato
