More quotes by Plato

Plato

Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
Plato
Kindness which is bestowed on the good is never lost.
Plato
You cannot go into the same water twice.

Those who tell the stories rule society.

Trees and fields tell me nothing: men are my teachers.
Plato
The god is the beautiful.
