Plato
Image
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity - I mean the true simplicity of a rightly and nobly ordered mind and character, not that other simplicity which is only a euphemism for folly.
Plato
Image
The Dance, of all the arts, is the one that most influences the soul. Dancing is divine in its nature and is the gift of God.

Plato
Image
When a person supposes that he knows, and does not know this appears to be the great source of all the errors of the intellect.
Plato
Image
The most important part of education is right training in the nursery. The soul of the child in his play should be trained to that sort of excellence in which, when he grows to manhood, he will have to be perfected.
Plato
Image
Arrogance is ever accompanied by folly.
Plato
Image
Wisdom is a blaze, kindled by a leaping spark.
Plato
