More quotes by Plato

Plato
In the world of knowledge, the idea of good appears last of all, and is seen only with effort.
Plato

Plato
I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with
Plato
Harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order.
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
There are some whom the applause of the multitude has deluded into the belief that they are really statesmen.
Plato
For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.
Plato
Let nobody speak mischief of anybody.
Plato
To do wrong is the greatest of evils.
Plato
As the proverb says, a good beginning is half the business and to have begun well is praised by all.
Plato
It would be better for me ... that multitudes of men should disagree with me rather than that I, being one, should be out of harmony with myself.
Plato
