More quotes by Plato
Don't quarrel with your parents even if you are on the right.
Plato
Even in reaching for the beautiful there is beauty, and also in suffering whatever it is that one suffers en route.
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
Whenever a person strives, by the help of dialectic, to start in pursuit of every reality by a simple process of reason, independent of all sensuous information - never flinching, until by an act of the pure intelligence he has grasped the real nature of good - he arrives at the very end of the intellectual world.
Plato
Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, the laws of the State always change with them.
Plato
If someone separated the art of counting and measuring and weighing from all the other arts, what was left of each (of the others) would be, so to speak, insignificant.
Plato
Between knowledge of what really exists and ignorance of what does not exist lies the domain of opinion. It is more obscure than knowledge, but clearer than ignorance.
Plato
I will prove by my life that my critics are liars.
Plato
I must yield to you, for you are irresistible.
Plato
Romantic Art: The Hearts Awakening - Bouguereau At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.
Plato

Plato
