You must base the Wisdom on Love.
Plato

Plato
Access to power must be confined to those who are not in love with it.
Plato

Plato
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
Plato
The worst of all deceptions is self-deception.
Plato
I do not think it is permitted that a better man be harmed by a worse.
Plato
That a guardian should require another guardian to take care of him is ridiculous indeed.
Plato
They would be subject to no one, neither to lawful ruler nor to the reign of law, but would be altogether and absolutely free. That is the way they got their tyrants, for either servitude or freedom, when it goes to extremes, is an utter bane, while either in due measure is altogether a boon.
Plato
