Plato
To a good man nothing that happens is evil.
Plato
All learning is in the learner, not the teacher.
Plato
Be kind, for everyone is having a hard battle.
Plato
He who wishes to serve his country must have not only the power to think, but the will to act
Plato
He who is gracious to his lover under the impression that he is rich, and is disappointed of his gains because he turns out to be poor, is disgraced all the same: for he has done his best to show that he would give himself up to any one's uses base for the sake of money but this is not honourable.
Plato
Someday, in the distant future, our grand-children' s grand-children will develop a new equivalent of our classrooms. They will spend many hours in front of boxes with fires glowing within. May they have the wisdom to know the difference between light and knowledge.
Plato

Plato
Whence comes war and fighting, and factions? Whence but from the body and the lust of the body? Wars are occasioned by the love of money, and money has to be acquired for the same and service of the body.
Plato
Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.
Plato
The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge.
Plato
Everything that deceives does so by casting a spell.
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
In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.
Plato
I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.
Plato
There is no harm in repeating a good thing.
Plato
