More quotes by Plato

Plato
When a person supposes that he knows, and does not know this appears to be the great source of all the errors of the intellect.
Plato
These, then, will be some of the features of democracy... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, parti-colored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.
Plato

Plato
Philosophy is the highest music.
Plato

Plato
For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato
The people always have some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness. ... This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs when he first appears he is a protector.
Plato
And among the other honours and rewards our young men can win for distinguished service in war and in other activities, will be more frequent opportunities to sleep with a woman this will give us a pretext for ensuring that most of our children are born of that parent.
Plato
He who is of a calm and happy nature, will hardly feel the pressure of age
Plato
Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, the laws of the State always change with them.
Plato
He, O men, is the wisest, who, like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing.
Plato
I have this tattooed on my left side! I love the saying and it's a perfect description of Karma, don't judge/discriminate and don't do to someone what you wouldn't want done to you.
Plato
You cannot conceive the many without the one...The study of the unit is among those that lead the mind on and turn it to the vision of reality.
Plato
You may be sure, dear Crito, that inaccurate language is not only in itself a mistake: it implants evil in men's souls.
Plato
