Thinking and spoken discourse are the same thing, except that what we call thinking is, precisely, the inward dialogue carried on by the mind with itself without spoken sound.

More quotes by Plato
The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole.
Plato
Until philosophers hold power, neither states nor individuals will have rest from trouble.
Plato
I must yield to you, for you are irresistible.
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
Is what is moral commanded by God because it is moral, or is it moral because it is commanded by God?
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
When there is crime in society, there is no justice.
Plato
As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.
Plato
'But the man who is ready to taste every form of knowledge, is glad to learn and never satisfied - he's the man who deserves to be called a philosopher, isn't he?'
Plato
It is not noble to return evil for evil, at no time ought we to do an injury to our neighbors.
Plato
You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
Plato
The poets are nothing but interpreters of the gods, each one possessed by the divinity to whom he is in bondage.
Plato
I can show you that the art of calculation has to do with odd and even numbers in their numerical relations to themselves and to each other.
Plato
I would have you imagine, then, that there exists in the mind of man a block of wax... and that we remember and know what is imprinted as long as the image lasts but when the image is effaced, or cannot be taken, then we forget or do not know.
Plato
One man cannot practice many arts with success.
Plato
Those who practice philosophy in the right way are in training for dying and they fear death least of all men.
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
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 soul should concentrate itself by itself.
Plato
If we are to keep our flock at the highest pitch of excellence, there should be as many unions of the best of both sexes, and as few of the inferior as possible, and that only the offspring of the better unions should be kept.
Plato
