More quotes by Plato
An old man is twice a child, and so is a drunken man.
Plato
Grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or endure.
Plato
There are few people so stubborn in their atheism who, when danger is pressing in, will not acknowledge the divine power.
Plato
A good education consists in knowing how to sing and dance well.
Plato
Geometry draws the soul towards truth.
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
I must yield to you, for you are irresistible.
Plato
Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.
Plato
The ludicrous state of solid geometry made me pass over this branch.
Plato
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
We understand why children are afraid of darkness ... but why are men afraid of light?
Plato
We will be better men, braver and less idle, if we believe that one must search for the things one does not know, rather than if we believe that it is not possible to find out what we do not know and that we must not look for it.
Plato
Is virtue something that can be taught?
Plato
Ignorance: the root of all evil.
Plato
Sin is disease, deformity, and weakness.
Plato
The highest reach of injustice is to be deemed just when you are not.
Plato
This world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence ... a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related.
Plato
Arithmetic has a very great and elevating effect, compelling the soul to reason about abstract number, and rebelling against the introduction of visible or tngible objects into the argument.
Plato
If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just man to his enemies but kindness to his friends, he was not wise who said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared to be just to injure any one.
Plato
Just as things in a picture, when viewed from a distance, appear to be all in one and the same condition and alike.
Plato
