Plato
Courage is a kind of salvation.
Plato
A person who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying he or she ought only to consider whether in doing anything he or she is doing right or wrong- acting the part of a good person or a bad person.
Plato
Let nobody speak mischief of anybody.
Plato
The makers of fortunes have a second love of money as a creation of their own, resembling the affection of authors for their own poems, or of parents for their children, besides that natural love of it for the sake of use and profit.
Plato
