More quotes by Plato
Knowledge is true opinion.
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
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
Wonder is the feeling of the philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.
Plato
There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is terrible, wild, and lawless.
Plato
A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things.
Plato
Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large.
Plato
Knowledge of the soul is the only universal truth and the only wisdom - all other knowledge is transient.
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
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
The Graces sought some holy ground, Whose sight should ever please And in their search the soul they found Of Aristophanes.
Plato
When a beautiful soul harmonizes with a beautiful form, and the two are cast in one mould, that will be the fairest of sights to him who has the eye to contemplate the vision.
Plato
I should not like to say ... that any kind of knowledge is not to be learned for all knowledge appears to be a good.
Plato
The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
Plato
No soul willfully does wrong.
Plato
Who are the true philosophers? Those whose passion is to love the truth.
Plato
But he who has been earnest in the love of knowledge and of true wisdom, and has exercised his intellect more than any other part of him, must have thoughts immortal and divine. If he attain truth, and in so far as human nature is capable of sharing in immortality, he must altogether be immortal.
Plato
So the well educated man can learn to sing and dance well.
Plato
Take a look around, then, and see that none of the uninitiated are listening. Now by the uninitiated I mean the people who believe in nothing but what they can grasp in their hands, and who will not allow that action or generation or anything invisible can have real existence.
Plato
The soul should concentrate itself by itself.
Plato
