More quotes by Plato
Adultery is the injury of nature.
Plato
Geometry draws the soul towards truth.
Plato
Are these things good for any other reason except that they end in pleasure, and get rid of and avert pain? Are you looking to any other standard but pleasure and pain when you call them good?
Plato
No town can live peacefully whatever its laws when its citizens do nothing but feast and drink and tire themselves out in the cares of love
Plato
Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. It is knowledge itself.
Plato
Music is a defining element of character.
Plato
When the music changes, the walls of the city shake.
Plato
To prefer evil to good is not in human nature and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.
Plato
The doctors will treat those of your citizens whose physical and psychological constitution is good: as for the others, they will leave the unhealthy to die and those whose psychological constitution is incurably warped they will be put to death.

Plato
An hour of play is worth a lifetime of conversation.
Plato
When there is crime in society, there is no justice.
Plato
The worst of all deceptions is self-deception.
Plato
Such, Echecrates, was the end of our comrade, who was, we may fairly say, of all those whom we knew in our time, the bravest and also the wisest and most upright man.
Plato
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.
Plato
So where it is a general rule that it is wrong to gratify lovers, this can be attributed to the defects of those who make that rule: the government's lust for rule and the subjects' cowardice.
Plato
A dog has the soul of a philosopher.
Plato
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
Who are the true philosophers? Those whose passion is to love the truth.
Plato
Let us describe the education of our men. What then is the education to be? Perhaps we could hardly find a better than that which the experience of the past has already discovered, which consists, I believe, in gymnastic, for the body, and music for the mind.
Plato
