More quotes by Plato
Money-makers are tiresome company, as they have no standard but cash value.
Plato
Discordance is evil. Harmony is virtue.
Plato
Just as bees make honey from thyme, the strongest and driest of herbs, so do the wise profit from the most difficult of experiences.
Plato
Where love reigns, there's no need for laws.
Plato
Neither do the ignorant love wisdom or desire to become wise for this is the grievous thing about ignorance, that those who are neither good nor beautiful think they are good enough, and do not desire that which they do not think they are lacking.
Plato
A delightful form of government, anarchic and motley, assigning a kind of equality indiscriminately to equals and unequals alike!
Plato
I have good hope that there is something after death.
Plato
And tell him it's quite true that the best of the philosophers are of no use to their fellows but that he should blame, not the philosophers, but those who fail to make use of them.
Plato
Time on its back bears all things far away - Full many a challenge is wrought by many a day - Shape, fortune, name, and nature all decay
Plato
Violent pleasures which reach the soul through the body are generally of this sort-they are reliefs of pain.
Plato
Time is the moving imago of the unmoving eternity.
Plato
Harmony is a symphony, and symphony is an agreement but an agreement of disagreements while they disagree there cannot be you cannot harmonize that which disagrees.
Plato
A dog has the soul of a philosopher.
Plato
Just as things in a picture, when viewed from a distance, appear to be all in one and the same condition and alike.
Plato
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
Trees and fields tell me nothing: men are my teachers.
Plato
Philosophy is an elegant thing, if anyone modestly meddles with it but if they are conversant with it more than is becoming, it corrupts them.
Plato
All learning is in the learner, not the teacher.
Plato
Arrogance is ever accompanied by folly.
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
