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.

A wise ignorance is an essential part of knowledge.
Plato
Image
Lessons, however, that enter the soul against its will never grow roots and will never be preserved inside it.
Plato
Image
There should be no element of slavery in learning. Enforced exercise does no harm to the body, but enforced learning will not stay in the mind. So avoid compulsion, and let your children's lessons take the form of play.
Plato
Image
Each citizen should play his part in the community according to his individual gifts.
Plato
Image
I do not think it is permitted that a better man be harmed by a worse.
Plato
Image
Observe that open loves are held to be more honourable than secret ones, and that the love of the noblest and highest, even if their persons are less beautiful than others, is especially honourable.
Plato
Image
Let him take heart who does advance, even in the smallest degree.
Plato
