More quotes by Plato
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.
Plato
Let us describe the education of our men. What then is the education to be? Perhaps we could hardly find a better than that which the experience of the past has already discovered, which consists, I believe, in gymnastic, for the body, and music for the mind.
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
Education and admonition commence in the first years of childhood, and last to the very end of life.
Plato
Don't quarrel with your parents even if you are on the right.
Plato
What then is the right way to live? Life should be lived as play.
Plato
[M]ere knowledge of the truth will not give you the art of persuasion.
Plato
I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

Plato

And the smallest class is the one which naturally possesses that form of knowledge which alone of all others deserves the title of wisdom.
Plato
Not every love, but only that which has a noble purpose, is noble and worthy of praise.
Plato
There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.
Plato
We should not exercise the body without the joint assistance of the mind nor exercise the mind without the joint assistance of the body.
Plato
Arithmetic has a very great and elevating effect, compelling the soul to reason about abstract number, and rebelling against the introduction of visible or tngible objects into the argument.
Plato
The mortal nature is seeking as far as is possible to be everlasting and immortal: and this is only to be attained by generation, because the new is always left in the place of the old.
Plato
Let him take heart who does advance, even in the smallest degree.
Plato
A drunkard is unprofitable for any kind of good service.
Plato
The doctors will treat those of your citizens whose physical and psychological constitution is good: as for the others, they will leave the unhealthy to die and those whose psychological constitution is incurably warped they will be put to death.
Plato
It is our duty to select the best and most dependable theory that human intelligence can supply, and use it as a raft to ride the seas of life.
Plato
