More quotes by Plato
Virtue is a kind of health, beauty and good habit of the soul.
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 good is the beautiful.
Plato
Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. It is knowledge itself.
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
As it is, lovers of inquiry must follow their beloved wherever it may lead.
Plato
And among the other honours and rewards our young men can win for distinguished service in war and in other activities, will be more frequent opportunities to sleep with a woman this will give us a pretext for ensuring that most of our children are born of that parent.
Plato
Where love reigns, there's no need for laws.
Plato
To prefer evil to good is not in human nature and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.
Plato
Let praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished in virtue.
Plato
The beginning is half of the whole.
Plato
The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they don't know...How, then, can the dog be anything other than a lover of learning since it defines what's its own and what's alien.
Plato
I fast for greater physical and mental efficiency
Plato
It seems to me that whatever else is beautiful apart from asbsolute beauty is beautiful because it partakes of that absolute beauty, and for no other reason. Do you accept this kind of causality?
Plato
The wise man will want to be ever with him who is better than himself.
Plato
Books are immortal sons deifying their sires.
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
Not only is the old man twice a child, but also the man who is drunk.
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
Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.
Plato
