More quotes by Plato

We ought to live sacrificing, and singing, and dancing.
Plato
There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.
Plato
If in a discussion of many matters ... we are not able to give perfectly exact and self-consistent accounts, do not be surprised: rather we would be content if we provide accounts that are second to none in probability.
Plato
Thinking is the soul talking to itself.
Plato
Where love reigns, there's no need for laws.
Plato
When you swear, swear seriously and solemnly, but at the same time with a smile, for a smile is the twin sister of seriousness.
Plato
