More quotes by Plato
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.
Plato
You need some knowledge to recognize knowledge, so where does the first knowledge come from?
Plato
And the first step, as you know, is always what matters most, particularly when we are dealing with those who are young and tender. That is the time when they are taking shape and when any impression we choose to make leaves a permanent mark.
Plato
Love is a severe mental disorder.
Plato
What is better adapted than the festive use of wine in the first place to test and in the second place to train the character of a man, if care be taken in the use of it? What is there cheaper or more innocent?
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
Follow your dream as long as you live, do not lessen the time of following desire, for wasting time is an abomination of the spirit.
Plato
There are few people so stubborn in their atheism who, when danger is pressing in, will not acknowledge the divine power.
Plato
The wise man will want to be ever with him who is better than himself.
Plato
The only real ill-doing is the deprivation of knowledge.
Plato
And a democracy, I suppose, comes into being when the poor, winning the victory, put to death some of the other party, drive out others, and grant the rest of the citizens an equal share in both citizenship and offices.
Plato
Rhythm and harmony enter most powerfully into the inner most part of the soul and lay forcible hands upon it, bearing grace with them, so making graceful him who is rightly trained.
Plato
The Dance, of all the arts, is the one that most influences the soul. Dancing is divine in its nature and is the gift of God.
Plato
Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
Plato
A good education consists in knowing how to sing and dance well.
Plato
The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
Plato
A delightful form of government, anarchic and motley, assigning a kind of equality indiscriminately to equals and unequals alike!
Plato
Music gives a soul to the universe.
Plato
It seems to me that whatever else is beautiful apart from asbsolute beauty is beautiful because it partakes of that absolute beauty, and for no other reason. Do you accept this kind of causality?
Plato
There's a victory and defeat-the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats-which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself.
Plato
