Plato
Image
Don't quarrel with your parents even if you are on the right.
Plato
Image
The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.
Plato
Image
Between knowledge of what really exists and ignorance of what does not exist lies the domain of opinion. It is more obscure than knowledge, but clearer than ignorance.
Plato
