More quotes by Plato
In a democracy only will the freeman of nature design to dwell.
Plato
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
The greatest privilege of a human life is to become a midwife to the awakening of the Soul in another person.
Plato
Train children not by compulsion but as if they were playing.
Plato
I do not think it is permitted that a better man be harmed by a worse.
Plato

Plato

Plato
The essence of knowledge is self-knowledge.
Plato
Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. It is knowledge itself.

Plato
Let brother help brother.
Plato
Knowledge is true opinion.
Plato
A true artist is someone who gives birth to a new reality.

Don't quarrel with your parents even if you are on the right.
