Image
All learning is in the learner, not the teacher.
Plato
Image
Trees and fields tell me nothing: men are my teachers.
Plato
Image
For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.
Plato
Image

Plato
Image
Everything that deceives does so by casting a spell.
Plato
Image
Herein is the evil of ignorance, that he who is neither good nor wise is nevertheless satisfied with himself: he had no desire for that of which he feels no want.
Plato
Image
Love consists in feeling the Sacred One beating inside the loved one.
Plato
Image
The deity on purpose [sings] the liveliest of all lyrics through the most miserable poet.
Plato
Image
People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
Plato
Image
The doctors will treat those of your citizens whose physical and psychological constitution is good: as for the others, they will leave the unhealthy to die and those whose psychological constitution is incurably warped they will be put to death.
Plato
Image
Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.
Plato
