More quotes by Plato
He who does not desire power is fit to hold it.
Plato
Are these things good for any other reason except that they end in pleasure, and get rid of and avert pain? Are you looking to any other standard but pleasure and pain when you call them good?
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
Equals, the proverb goes, delight in equals.
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
Let him know how to choose the mean and avoid the extremes on either side, as far as possible. . . . For this is the way of happiness.
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
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 you are wise, all men will be your friends and kindred, for you will be useful.
Plato
Train children not by compulsion but as if they were playing.
Plato
In a democracy only will the freeman of nature design to dwell.
Plato
In an honest man there is always something of a child.
Plato
Ignorance: the root of all evil.
Plato
The unexamined life is not worth living for a human being.
Plato
Those who have knowledge are more confident than those who have no knowledge, and they are more confident after they have learned than before.
Plato
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
Plato
That is very high praise, which is given you by faithful witness.
Plato
He who is gracious to his lover under the impression that he is rich, and is disappointed of his gains because he turns out to be poor, is disgraced all the same: for he has done his best to show that he would give himself up to any one's uses base for the sake of money but this is not honourable.
Plato
Experience proves that anyone who has studied geometry is infinitely quicker to grasp difficult subjects than one who has not.
Plato
Not every love, but only that which has a noble purpose, is noble and worthy of praise.
Plato
