Who are the true philosophers? Those whose passion is to love the truth.
Plato
Image
One trait in the philosopher's character we can assume is his love of the knowledge that reveals eternal reality, the realm unaffected by change and decay.
Plato
Image
Be kind, for everyone is having a hard battle.
Plato
Image
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
Image
Of all the things of a man's soul which he has within him, justice is the greatest good and injustice the greatest evil.

Image
Herein is the evil of ignorance, that he who is neither good nor wise is nevertheless satisfied with himself: he had no desire for that of which he feels no want.
Plato
Image
The only real ill-doing is the deprivation of knowledge.
Plato

Books are immortal sons deifying their sires.
Plato
Image
To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.
Plato

Image
Man is a biped without feathers.
Plato
Image
Freedom in a democracy is the glory of the state, and, therefore, in a democracy only will the freeman of nature deign to dwell.
Plato
Image
Kindness which is bestowed on the good is never lost.
Plato
Image
The Earth is like one of those balls made of twelve pieces of skin.
Plato
Image
There should be no element of slavery in learning. Enforced exercise does no harm to the body, but enforced learning will not stay in the mind. So avoid compulsion, and let your children's lessons take the form of play.
Plato
Image
The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole.
Plato
Image
...there are some who are naturally fitted for philosophy and political leadership, while the rest should follow their lead and let philosophy alone.
Plato
Image
...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
Image
Man...is a tame or civilized animal never the less, he requires proper instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals he becomes the most divine and most civilized but if he be insufficiently or ill- educated he is the most savage of earthly creatures.
Plato
