In an honest man there is always something of a child.
Plato

The good man is the only excellent musician, because he gives forth a perfect harmony not with a lyre or other instrument but with the whole of his life.
Plato
Image
When a Benefit is wrongly conferred, the author of the Benefit may often be said to injure.
Plato
Image
You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
Plato
Image
The only real ill-doing is the deprivation of knowledge.
Plato
Image
If someone separated the art of counting and measuring and weighing from all the other arts, what was left of each (of the others) would be, so to speak, insignificant.
Plato
Image
Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow... even if that someone is yourself!
Plato
