Plato
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.
Plato
There is no necessity for the man who means to be an orator to understand what is really just but only what would appear so to the majority of those who will give judgment and not what is really good or beautiful but whatever will appear so because persuasion comes from that and not from the truth.
Plato
Between knowledge of what really exists and ignorance of what does not exist lies the domain of opinion. It is more obscure than knowledge, but clearer than ignorance.
Plato
Not by force shall the children learn, but through play
Plato
