More quotes by 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
Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole, and not that of any one class.
Plato
Even in reaching for the beautiful there is beauty, and also in suffering whatever it is that one suffers en route.
Plato
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.
Plato
For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato
Harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order.
Plato
There are some whom the applause of the multitude has deluded into the belief that they are really statesmen.
Plato
Those who practice philosophy in the right way are in training for dying and they fear death least of all men.
Plato
Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
Plato
For though a man should be a complete unbeliever in the being of gods if he also has a native uprightness of temper, such persons will detest evil in men their repugnance to wrong disinclines them to commit wrongful acts they shun the unrighteous and are drawn to the upright.
Plato
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on Simplicity.
Plato
Man's greatest victory is over oneself.
Plato
. . . the triumph of my art is in thoroughly examining whether the thought which the mind of the young man brings forth is a false idol or a noble and true birth.
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
The good, of course, is always beautiful, and the beautiful never lacks proportion.
Plato
Lessons, however, that enter the soul against its will never grow roots and will never be preserved inside it.
Plato
Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.
Plato
You must base the Wisdom on Love.
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
Music is a defining element of character.
Plato
