Plato
Knowledge is true opinion.
Plato
Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, the laws of the State always change with them.
Plato
He who does not desire power is fit to hold it.
Plato
If we are to have any hope for the future, those who have lanterns must pass them on to others.
Plato
The tools which would teach men their own use would be beyond price.
Plato
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity - I mean the true simplicity of a rightly and nobly ordered mind and character, not that other simplicity which is only a euphemism for folly.
Plato
And if we are good, we are beneficent: for all good things are beneficial. Are they not?
Plato
What if the man could see Beauty Itself, pure, unalloyed, stripped of mortality, and all its pollution, stains, and vanities, unchanging, divine,... the man becoming in that communion, the friend of God,... ?
Plato
