A man is not learned until he can read, write and swim.
Plato
Image
In things which we know, everyone will trust us ... and we may do as we please, and no one will like to interfere with us and we are free, and masters of others and these things will be really ours, for we shall turn them to our good.
Plato
Image
You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
Plato
Image

Better a good enemy than a bad friend.
Plato
Image
My plainness of speech makes people hate me, and what is their hatred but a proof that I am speaking the truth.
Plato
Image
Great is the issue at stake, greater than appears, whether a man is to be good or bad. And what will any one be profited if, under the influence of money or power, he neglect justice and virtue?
Plato
Image

Plato
Image
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
Plato
Image
The most important part of education is right training in the nursery. The soul of the child in his play should be trained to that sort of excellence in which, when he grows to manhood, he will have to be perfected.
Plato
Image
Our need will be the real creator.
Plato
Image
He who is of a calm and happy nature, will hardly feel the pressure of age
Plato
Image
True friendship can exist only between equals.
Plato
Image
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.
Plato
Image
Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.
Plato
Image
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
Image
. . . Then anyone who leaves behind him a written manual, and likewise anyone who receives it, in the belief that such writing will be clear and certain, must be exceedingly simple-minded. . . .
Plato
Image
He who advises a sick man, whose manner of life is prejudicial to health, is clearly bound first of all to change his patient's manner of life.
Plato
Image
When a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it's to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don't want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment.
Plato
