More quotes by Plato
So the well educated man can learn to sing and dance well.
Plato
[Not enough is known about solid geometry] and for two reasons: in the first place, no government places value on it this leads to a lack of energy in the pursuit of it, and it is difficult. In the second place, students cannot learn it unless they have a teacher. But then a teacher can hardly be found.
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
Such, Echecrates, was the end of our comrade, who was, we may fairly say, of all those whom we knew in our time, the bravest and also the wisest and most upright man.
Plato
Everything that deceives does so by casting a spell.
Plato
Who are the true philosophers? Those whose passion is to love the truth.
Plato
No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
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
Love is a serious mental disease.
Plato
Fields and trees are not willing to teach me anything but this can be effected by men residing in the city.
Plato
There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.
Plato
.. we shall not be properly educated ourselves, nor will the guardians whom we are training, until we can recognise the qualities of discipline, courage, generosity, greatness of mind, and others akin to them, as well as their opposites in all their manifestations.
Plato
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
When the citizens of a society can see and hear their leaders, then that society should be seen as one.
Plato
The laws of democracy remain a dead letter, its freedom is anarchy, its equality the equality of unequals
Plato
Self conquest is the greatest of victories.
Plato
The beginning is half of the whole.
Plato
A true artist is someone who gives birth to a new reality.
Plato
Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We do not act rightly because we are excellent, in fact we achieve excellence by acting rightly.
Plato
The choice of souls was in most cases based on their own experience of a previous life... Knowledge easily acquired is that which the enduing self had in an earlier life, so that it flows back easily.
Plato
