Plato
What a handsome face he had: but if he were naked you would forget he had a face, he is so beautiful in every way.
Plato
Someday, in the distant future, our grand-children' s grand-children will develop a new equivalent of our classrooms. They will spend many hours in front of boxes with fires glowing within. May they have the wisdom to know the difference between light and knowledge.
Plato

Plato
Better a good enemy than a bad friend.
Plato
God is truth and light his shadow.
Plato
In good speaking, should not the mind of the speaker know the truth of the matter about which he is to speak.
Plato
The most important part of education is right training in the nursery. The soul of the child in his play should be trained to that sort of excellence in which, when he grows to manhood, he will have to be perfected.
Plato
You are mistaken, my friend, if you think that a man who is worth anything ought to spend his time weighing up the prospects of life and death. He has only one thing to consider in performing any action - that is, whether he is acting rightly or wrongly, like a good man or a bad one.
Plato
