And the first step, as you know, is always what matters most, particularly when we are dealing with those who are young and tender. That is the time when they are taking shape and when any impression we choose to make leaves a permanent mark.

More quotes by 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
There are few people so stubborn in their atheism who, when danger is pressing in, will not acknowledge the divine power.
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
... for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves.
Plato
Love consists in feeling the Sacred One beating inside the loved one.
Plato
Nothing ever is, everything is becoming.
Plato
A good decision is based on knowledge, and not on numbers.
Plato
For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.
Plato
Science is nothing but perception.
Plato
The soul should concentrate itself by itself.
Plato
We should not exercise the body without the joint assistance of the mind nor exercise the mind without the joint assistance of the body.
Plato
Geometry draws the soul towards truth.
Plato
Geometry existed before creation.
Plato
Putting the shoe on the wrong foot.
Plato
As to the artists, do we not know that he only of them whom love inspires has the light of fame?-he whom love touches not walks in darkness.
Plato
.. we shall not be properly educated ourselves, nor will the guardians whom we are training, until we can recognise the qualities of discipline, courage, generosity, greatness of mind, and others akin to them, as well as their opposites in all their manifestations.
Plato
Only the dead will know the end of the war.
Plato
Love is a severe mental disorder.
Plato
We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can and to fly away is to become like God, as far as this is possible and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.
Plato
Sin is disease, deformity, and weakness.
Plato
