Plato
He who does not desire power is fit to hold it.
Plato
The greater part of instruction is being reminded of things you already know.
Plato
When you swear, swear seriously and solemnly, but at the same time with a smile, for a smile is the twin sister of seriousness.
Plato
And the true order of going, or being led by another, to the things of love, is to begin from the beauties of earth.
Plato
