More quotes by Plato
Grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or endure.
Plato

Plato

Plato

Plato
Everything that deceives does so by casting a spell.
Plato

Plato
All the gold upon the earth and all the gold beneath it, does not compensate for lack of virtue.
Plato
That a guardian should require another guardian to take care of him is ridiculous indeed.
Plato
To do injustice is more disgraceful than to suffer it.
Plato
They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth.
Plato
Those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers.
Plato

Plato
