Plato
Sin is disease, deformity, and weakness.
Plato
Courage is knowing what to fear.
Plato
Man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door of his prison and run away. . . . A man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons hiom.
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
And among the other honours and rewards our young men can win for distinguished service in war and in other activities, will be more frequent opportunities to sleep with a woman this will give us a pretext for ensuring that most of our children are born of that parent.
Plato
