More quotes by Plato
As long as I draw breath and am able, I won't give up practicing philosophy.
Plato
Avoid compulsion and let early education be a matter of amusement. Young children learn by games compulsory education cannot remain in the soul.
Plato
No one ever dies an atheist.
Plato
The worst of all deceptions is self-deception.
Plato
In the world of knowledge, the idea of good appears last of all, and is seen only with effort.
Plato
The makers of fortunes have a second love of money as a creation of their own, resembling the affection of authors for their own poems, or of parents for their children, besides that natural love of it for the sake of use and profit.
Plato
The poets are nothing but interpreters of the gods, each one possessed by the divinity to whom he is in bondage.
Plato
Knowledge is the rediscovering of our own insight.
Plato
The wise man will want to be ever with him who is better than himself.
Plato
For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.
Plato
A drunkard is unprofitable for any kind of good service.
Plato
He, O men, is the wisest, who, like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing.
Plato
We will be better men, braver and less idle, if we believe that one must search for the things one does not know, rather than if we believe that it is not possible to find out what we do not know and that we must not look for it.
Plato
Nothing in human affairs is worth any great anxiety.
Plato
Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. It is knowledge itself.
Plato
If you ask: What is the good of education? The answer is easy: Education makes good men and good men act nobly.
Plato
Love is a madness produced by an unsatisfiable rational desire to understand the ultimate truth about the world.
Plato
Such, Echecrates, was the end of our comrade, who was, we may fairly say, of all those whom we knew in our time, the bravest and also the wisest and most upright man.
Plato
Come then, and let us pass a leisure hour in storytelling, and our story shall be the education of our heroes.
Plato
The good, of course, is always beautiful, and the beautiful never lacks proportion.
Plato
