Plato
Image
The god of love lives in a state of need. It is a need. It is an urge. It is a homeostatic imbalance. Like hunger and thirst, it's almost impossible to stamp out.
Plato
Image
Justice is nothing more than the advantage of the stronger.
Plato
Image
Prefer diligence before idleness, unless you esteem rust above brightness.
Plato
Image
Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large.

Image
Better to complete a small task well, than to do much imperfectly.
Plato
