More quotes by Plato
... for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves.
Plato
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
Man is a being in search of meaning.
Plato
There is no necessity for the man who means to be an orator to understand what is really just but only what would appear so to the majority of those who will give judgment and not what is really good or beautiful but whatever will appear so because persuasion comes from that and not from the truth.
Plato

Love is of something, and that which love desires is not that which love is or has for no man desires that which he is or has. And love is of the beautiful, and therefore has not the beautiful. And the beautiful is the good, and therefore, in wanting and desiring the beautiful, love also wants and desires the good.
Plato
Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.
Plato

Plato
A man is not learned until he can read, write and swim.
Plato
Follow your dream as long as you live, do not lessen the time of following desire, for wasting time is an abomination of the spirit.
Plato
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories... The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.
Plato
Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
Plato
Self conquest is the greatest of victories.
Plato
Mankind will never see an end of trouble until lovers of wisdom come to hold political power, or the holders of power become lovers of wisdom
Plato
When you swear, swear seriously and solemnly, but at the same time with a smile, for a smile is the twin sister of seriousness.
Plato
Education in music is most sovereign because more than anything else rhythm and harmony find their way to the innermost soul and take strongest hold upon it
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
