More quotes by Plato

Plato
He who wishes to serve his country must have not only the power to think, but the will to act
Plato
Only a philosopher's mind grows wings, since its memory always keeps it as close as possible to those realities by being close to which the gods are divine.
Plato
He who love touches walks not in darkness.
Plato
Justice is nothing more than the advantage of the stronger.
Plato
No one ever dies an atheist.
Plato
Through obedience learn to command.
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
Let him know how to choose the mean and avoid the extremes on either side, as far as possible. . . . For this is the way of happiness.
Plato
