More quotes by Plato
My plainness of speech makes people hate me, and what is their hatred but a proof that I am speaking the truth.
Plato
Perfect wisdom has four parts: Wisdom, the principle of doing things aright. Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private. Fortitude, the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it. Temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.
Plato
They would be subject to no one, neither to lawful ruler nor to the reign of law, but would be altogether and absolutely free. That is the way they got their tyrants, for either servitude or freedom, when it goes to extremes, is an utter bane, while either in due measure is altogether a boon.
Plato
Who are the true philosophers? Those whose passion is to love the truth.
Plato
Be kind. Every person you meet is fighting a difficult battle.
Plato
The race of the guardians must be kept pure.
Plato
As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.
Plato
Again, truth should be highly valued if, as we were saying, a lie is useless to the gods, and useful only as a medicine to men, then the use of such medicines should be restricted to physicians private individuals have no business with them.
Plato
That is very high praise, which is given you by faithful witness.
Plato
A wise man speaks because he has something to say a fool because he has to say something.
Plato
Better to be unborn than untaught, for ignorance is the root of all misfortune.
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
If we are to have any hope for the future, those who have lanterns must pass them on to others.
Plato
From all wild beasts, a child is the most difficult to handle.
Plato
The Earth is like one of those balls made of twelve pieces of skin.
Plato
Then the lover, who is true and no counterfeit, must of necessity be loved by his love.
Plato
The love, more especially, which is concerned with the good, and which is perfected in company with temperance and justice, whether among gods or men, has the greatest power, and is the source of all our happiness and harmony, and makes us friends with the gods who are above us, and with one another.
Plato
A good decision is based on knowledge, and not on numbers.
Plato
I fear this is not the right exchange to attain virtue, to exchange pleasures for pleasures, pains for pains and fears for fears, the greater for the less like coins, but that the only valid currency for which all these things should be exchanged is wisdom.
Plato
The true runner comes to the finish and receives the prize and is crowned.
Plato
