Plato
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

Plato

Plato
No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.
Plato
Time on its back bears all things far away - Full many a challenge is wrought by many a day - Shape, fortune, name, and nature all decay
Plato
If in a discussion of many matters ... we are not able to give perfectly exact and self-consistent accounts, do not be surprised: rather we would be content if we provide accounts that are second to none in probability.
Plato
To be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.
Plato
I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.
Plato
Justice is nothing more than the advantage of the stronger.
Plato
No one knows whether death may not be the greatest good that can happen to man.
Plato
