More quotes by 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 wishes to serve his country must have not only the power to think, but the will to act
Plato
And what do you say of lovers of wine... they are glad of any pretext of drinking any wine
Plato
And a democracy, I suppose, comes into being when the poor, winning the victory, put to death some of the other party, drive out others, and grant the rest of the citizens an equal share in both citizenship and offices.
Plato
If we are to keep our flock at the highest pitch of excellence, there should be as many unions of the best of both sexes, and as few of the inferior as possible, and that only the offspring of the better unions should be kept.
Plato
Because it is correct to make a priority of young people, taking care that they turn out as well as possible.
Plato
And tell him it's quite true that the best of the philosophers are of no use to their fellows but that he should blame, not the philosophers, but those who fail to make use of them.
Plato
Education and admonition commence in the first years of childhood, and last to the very end of life.
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
Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.
Plato
Train children not by compulsion but as if they were playing.
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
I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.
Plato
Lessons, however, that enter the soul against its will never grow roots and will never be preserved inside it.
Plato
Rhythm and melody enter into the soul of the well-instructed youth and produce there a certain mental harmony hardly obtainable in any other way. . . . thus music, too, is concerned with the principles of love in their application to harmony and rhythm.
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
Money-makers are tiresome company, as they have no standard but cash value.
Plato
Arithmetic has a very great and elevating effect, compelling the soul to reason about abstract number, and rebelling against the introduction of visible or tngible objects into the argument.
Plato
Philosophy is an elegant thing, if anyone modestly meddles with it but if they are conversant with it more than is becoming, it corrupts them.
Plato
I have this tattooed on my left side! I love the saying and it's a perfect description of Karma, don't judge/discriminate and don't do to someone what you wouldn't want done to you.
Plato
