Plato

Plato
...that in our state one man was to do one job, and the job he was naturally most suited for .. And further, we have often heard and often said that justice consists of minding your own business and not interfering with other people.

Plato
Physical excellence does not of itself produce a good mind and character: on the other hand, excellence of mind and character will make the best of the physique it is given.
Plato
A dog has the soul of a philosopher.
Plato
To think truly is noble and to be deceived is base.
Plato
Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.

Plato
In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.
Plato
