More quotes by Plato
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
Plato
Music then is simply the result of the effects of Love on rhythm and harmony.
Plato
The greatest penalty of evil-doing is to grow into the likeness of a bad man.
Plato
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
Plato
We understand why children are afraid of darkness ... but why are men afraid of light?
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
My good friend, you are a citizen of Athens, a city which is very great and very famous for its wisdom and power - are you not ashamed of caring so much for the making of money and for fame and prestige, when you neither think nor care about wisdom and truth and the improvement of your soul?
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
The honour of parents is a fair and noble treasure to their posterity, but to have the use of a treasure of wealth and honour, and to leave none to your successors, because you have neither money nor reputation of your own, is alike base and dishonourable.
Plato
May not the wolf, as the proverb says, claim a hearing?
Plato
A good education consists in knowing how to sing and dance well.
Plato
Geometry will draw the soul toward truth and create the spirit of philosophy.
Plato
Equals, the proverb goes, delight in equals.
Plato
For every man who has learned to fight in arms will desire to learn the proper arrangement of an army, which is the sequel of the lesson.
Plato
When you feel grateful, you become great, and eventually attract great things.
Plato
Not by force shall the children learn, but through play
Plato
It seems to me that whatever else is beautiful apart from asbsolute beauty is beautiful because it partakes of that absolute beauty, and for no other reason. Do you accept this kind of causality?
Plato
The greatest privilege of a human life is to become a midwife to the awakening of the Soul in another person.
Plato
Be kind, for everyone is having a hard battle.
Plato
We see many instances of cities going down like sinking ships to their destruction. There have been such wrecks in the past and there surely will be others in the future, caused by the wickedness of captains and crews alike. For these are guilty men, whose sin is supreme ignorance of what matters most.
Plato
