Plato
As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.
Plato

Plato
The music masters familiarize children's minds with rhythms and melodies, thus making them more civilized, more balanced, better adjusted in themselves, and more capable in whatever they say or do, for rhythm and harmony are essential to the whole of life.
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
To do injustice is more disgraceful than to suffer it.
Plato
Health is a consumation of a love affair of all the organs of the body.
Plato
Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself.
Plato
That is very high praise, which is given you by faithful witness.
Plato
Through obedience learn to command.
Plato
The love, more especially, which is concerned with the good, and which is perfected in company with temperance and justice, whether among gods or men, has the greatest power, and is the source of all our happiness and harmony, and makes us friends with the gods who are above us, and with one another.
Plato

Plato
