More quotes by Plato
For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.
Plato
He seemeth to be most ignorant that trusteth most to his wit.
Plato
Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.
Plato
And yet the artist will go on with his work without knowing in some way if any of his representations are sound or unsound. The artist knows nothing worth mentioning about the subjects he represents, and that art is a form of play, not to be taken seriously.
Plato
An old man is twice a child, and so is a drunken man.
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
The true runner comes to the finish and receives the prize and is crowned.
Plato
Is virtue something that can be taught?
Plato
There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is terrible, wild, and lawless.
Plato
Virtue is a kind of health, beauty and good habit of the soul.
Plato
The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
Plato
Even God is said to be unable to use force against necessity.
Plato
Trees and fields tell me nothing: men are my teachers.
Plato
For though a man should be a complete unbeliever in the being of gods if he also has a native uprightness of temper, such persons will detest evil in men their repugnance to wrong disinclines them to commit wrongful acts they shun the unrighteous and are drawn to the upright.
Plato
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
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
You may be sure, dear Crito, that inaccurate language is not only in itself a mistake: it implants evil in men's souls.
Plato
Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
Plato
More will be accomplished, and better, and with more ease, if every man does what he is best fitted to do, and nothing else.
Plato
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
Plato
