Plato
The purpose of education is to give to the body and to the soul all the beauty and all the perfection of which they are capable.
Plato
Knowledge of the soul is the only universal truth and the only wisdom - all other knowledge is transient.
Plato
A drunkard is unprofitable for any kind of good service.
Plato
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
Plato
In order to seek one's own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life.
Plato
We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can and to fly away is to become like God, as far as this is possible and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.
Plato
