More quotes by Plato
When there is crime in society, there is no justice.
Plato
Grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or endure.
Plato
Because it is correct to make a priority of young people, taking care that they turn out as well as possible.
Plato
The honour of parents is a fair and noble treasure to their posterity, but to have the use of a treasure of wealth and honour, and to leave none to your successors, because you have neither money nor reputation of your own, is alike base and dishonourable.
Plato
Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We do not act rightly because we are excellent, in fact we achieve excellence by acting rightly.
Plato
When a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it's to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don't want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment.
Plato
Love consists in feeling the Sacred One beating inside the loved one.
Plato
As long as I draw breath and am able, I won't give up practicing philosophy.
Plato
Welcome out of the cave, my friend. It's a bit colder out here, but the stars are just beautiful.
Plato
He who is not a good servant will not be a good master.
Plato
...there are some who are naturally fitted for philosophy and political leadership, while the rest should follow their lead and let philosophy alone.
Plato
The tyranny imposed on the soul by anger, or fear, or lust, or pain, or envy, or desire, I generally call 'injustice.'
Plato
... Societies aren t made of sticks and stones, but of men whose individual characters, by turning the scale one way or another, determine the direction of the whole.
Plato
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.
Plato
We will be better men, braver and less idle, if we believe that one must search for the things one does not know, rather than if we believe that it is not possible to find out what we do not know and that we must not look for it.
Plato
When you feel grateful, you become great, and eventually attract great things.
Plato
Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.
Plato
No soul willfully does wrong.
Plato
We understand why children are afraid of darkness ... but why are men afraid of light?
Plato
[Not enough is known about solid geometry] and for two reasons: in the first place, no government places value on it this leads to a lack of energy in the pursuit of it, and it is difficult. In the second place, students cannot learn it unless they have a teacher. But then a teacher can hardly be found.
Plato
