The choice of souls was in most cases based on their own experience of a previous life... Knowledge easily acquired is that which the enduing self had in an earlier life, so that it flows back easily.

More quotes by 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
Education and admonition commence in the first years of childhood, and last to the very end of life.
Plato
No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.
Plato
To prefer evil to good is not in human nature and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.
Plato
And first he will see the shadows best, next the reflections of men and other objects in the water, and then the objects themselves, then he will gaze upon the light of the moon and the stars and the spangled heaven...Last of all he will be able to see the sun.
Plato
In things which we know, everyone will trust us ... and we may do as we please, and no one will like to interfere with us and we are free, and masters of others and these things will be really ours, for we shall turn them to our good.
Plato
These, then, will be some of the features of democracy... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, parti-colored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.
Plato
If in a discussion of many matters ... we are not able to give perfectly exact and self-consistent accounts, do not be surprised: rather we would be content if we provide accounts that are second to none in probability.
Plato
Trees and fields tell me nothing: men are my teachers.
Plato
We are like people looking for something they have in their hands all the time we're looking in all directions except at the thing we want, which is probably why we haven't found it.
Plato
Anything worth knowing is already known and must be remembered and reclaimed by the soul.
Plato
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
Plato
Ideas are the source of all things
Plato
When anything is in the presence of evil, but is not as yet evil, the presence of good arouses the desire of good in that thing but the presence of evil, which makes a thing evil, takes away the desire and friendship of the good for that which was once both good and evil has now become evil only, and the good has no friendship with evil.
Plato
Be kind. Every person you meet is fighting a difficult battle.
Plato
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Plato
For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.
Plato
I shall assume that your silence gives consent.
Plato
When men speak ill of thee, live so that nobody will believe them.
Plato
Music then is simply the result of the effects of Love on rhythm and harmony.
Plato
