More quotes by Plato
Let us describe the education of our men. What then is the education to be? Perhaps we could hardly find a better than that which the experience of the past has already discovered, which consists, I believe, in gymnastic, for the body, and music for the mind.
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
Time on its back bears all things far away - Full many a challenge is wrought by many a day - Shape, fortune, name, and nature all decay
Plato

The Graces sought some holy ground, Whose sight should ever please And in their search the soul they found Of Aristophanes.
Plato
Just as things in a picture, when viewed from a distance, appear to be all in one and the same condition and alike.
Plato
We will be better men, braver and less idle, if we believe that one must search for the things one does not know, rather than if we believe that it is not possible to find out what we do not know and that we must not look for it.
Plato
The essence of knowledge is self-knowledge.
Plato
Philosophy is the highest music.
Plato
For when there are no words, it is very difficult to recognize the meaning of the harmony and rhythm, or to see any worldly object is imitated by them.
Plato
It is right to give every man his due.
Plato
Haughtiness lives under the same roof with solitude.
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
Knowledge is the rediscovering of our own insight.
Plato
So the well educated man can learn to sing and dance well.
Plato
