More quotes by Plato

Image
One trait in the philosopher's character we can assume is his love of the knowledge that reveals eternal reality, the realm unaffected by change and decay. He is in love with the whole of that reality, and will not willingly be deprived even of the most insignificant fragment of it - just like the lovers and men of ambition we described earlier on.
Plato
Image
A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.
Plato
Image
When the music changes, the walls of the city shake.
Plato

Plato

Harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order.
Plato

God is truth and light his shadow.
Plato
Image
We are like people looking for something they have in their hands all the time we're looking in all directions except at the thing we want, which is probably why we haven't found it.
Plato
Image
The mortal nature is seeking as far as is possible to be everlasting and immortal: and this is only to be attained by generation, because the new is always left in the place of the old.
Plato
Image
A person who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying he or she ought only to consider whether in doing anything he or she is doing right or wrong- acting the part of a good person or a bad person.
Plato
Image
This world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence ... a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related.
Plato
Image
I would fain grow old learning many things.
Plato
Image
Health is a consumation of a love affair of all the organs of the body.
Plato
Image
He seemeth to be most ignorant that trusteth most to his wit.
Plato
Image
There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.
Plato
