Image
A delightful form of government, anarchic and motley, assigning a kind of equality indiscriminately to equals and unequals alike!
Plato
Image
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
Image
Harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order.
Plato
Image
He who is gracious to his lover under the impression that he is rich, and is disappointed of his gains because he turns out to be poor, is disgraced all the same: for he has done his best to show that he would give himself up to any one's uses base for the sake of money but this is not honourable.
Plato
Image
So the well educated man can learn to sing and dance well.
Plato
Image
No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul
Plato
Image
So the state founded on natural principles is wise as a whole in virtue of the knowledge inherent in its smallest constituent class, which exercises authority over the rest. And the smallest class is the one which naturally possesses that form of knowledge which alone of all others deserves the title of wisdom.
Plato
Image
Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.
Plato
Image
Man's greatest victory is over oneself.
Plato
Image
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
Image
Let us affirm what seems to be the truth, that, whether one is or is not, one and the others in relation to themselves and one another, all of them, in every way, are and are not, and appear to be and appear not to be.
Plato
Image
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
Image
Excellent things are rare.
Plato
Image
A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.
Plato
Image
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
Image
A good decision is based on knowledge, and not on numbers.
Plato
Image
My plainness of speech makes people hate me, and what is their hatred but a proof that I am speaking the truth.
Plato
Image
The wise man will want to be ever with him who is better than himself.
Plato
Image
Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.
Plato
Image
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
