Plato
Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.
Plato
The deity on purpose [sings] the liveliest of all lyrics through the most miserable poet.
Plato
The music masters familiarize children's minds with rhythms and melodies, thus making them more civilized, more balanced, better adjusted in themselves, and more capable in whatever they say or do, for rhythm and harmony are essential to the whole of life.
Plato
Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.
Plato
. . . Then anyone who leaves behind him a written manual, and likewise anyone who receives it, in the belief that such writing will be clear and certain, must be exceedingly simple-minded. . . .
