Plato
The function of the wing is to take what is heavy and raise it up in the region above.
Plato

For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself.

Plato
The soul of man is immortal and imperishable.
Plato
The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they don't know...How, then, can the dog be anything other than a lover of learning since it defines what's its own and what's alien.
Plato

Plato
They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth.
Plato
Those who have knowledge are more confident than those who have no knowledge, and they are more confident after they have learned than before.
Plato
Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.
Plato
The ludicrous state of solid geometry made me pass over this branch.
Plato
Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
Plato
That is very high praise, which is given you by faithful witness.
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
