The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they don't know...How, then, can the dog be anything other than a lover of learning since it defines what's its own and what's alien.

More quotes by Plato
I will prove by my life that my critics are liars.
Plato
It gives me great pleasure to converse with the aged. They have been over the road that all of us must travel, and know where it is rough and difficult and where it is level and easy.
Plato
Thinking is the soul talking to itself.
Plato
The orators and the despots have the least power in their cities ... since they do nothing that they wish to do, practically speaking, though they do whatever they think to be best.
Plato
In order to seek one's own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life.
Plato
In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.
Plato
He who is learning and learning and doesn't apply what he knows is like the one who is plowing and plowing and doesn't seed.
Plato
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.

And what do you say of lovers of wine... they are glad of any pretext of drinking any wine
Plato
Virtue is voluntary, vice involuntary.
Plato
Laws are partly formed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them how they may live on friendly terms with one another, and partly for the sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued, or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil.
Plato
I would fain grow old learning many things.
Plato
...the Gods too love a joke.
Plato
When I hear a man discoursing of virtue, or of any sort of wisdom, who is a true man and worthy of his theme, I am delighted beyond measure: and I compare the man and his words, and note the harmony and correspondence of them. And such an one I deem to be the true musician, having in himself a fairer harmony than that of the lyre.
Plato
A wise man speaks because he has something to say a fool because he has to say something.
Plato
Health is a consumation of a love affair of all the organs of the body.
Plato
In a democracy only will the freeman of nature design to dwell.
Plato
What then is the right way to live? Life should be lived as play.
Plato
