Plato
And a democracy, I suppose, comes into being when the poor, winning the victory, put to death some of the other party, drive out others, and grant the rest of the citizens an equal share in both citizenship and offices.
Plato
The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
Plato
Ignorance: the root of all evil.
Plato

Plato
A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.
Plato
Wealth does not bring excellence, but that wealth comes from excellence.
Plato

Plato
