There is no harm in repeating a good thing.
Plato
Image
If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just man to his enemies but kindness to his friends, he was not wise who said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared to be just to injure any one.
Plato

Access to power must be confined to those who are not in love with it.
Plato
Image
To do wrong is the greatest of evils.
Plato
Image
Self conquest is the greatest of victories.
Plato
Image
Great is the issue at stake, greater than appears, whether a man is to be good or bad. And what will any one be profited if, under the influence of money or power, he neglect justice and virtue?
Plato
Image
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

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

Let brother help brother.
Plato
Image
Harmony is a symphony, and symphony is an agreement but an agreement of disagreements while they disagree there cannot be you cannot harmonize that which disagrees.
Plato
Image
You cannot conceive the many without the one...The study of the unit is among those that lead the mind on and turn it to the vision of reality.
Plato
Image
Follow your dream as long as you live, do not lessen the time of following desire, for wasting time is an abomination of the spirit.
Plato
Image
And first he will see the shadows best, next the reflections of men and other objects in the water, and then the objects themselves, then he will gaze upon the light of the moon and the stars and the spangled heaven...Last of all he will be able to see the sun.
Plato
Image
It was Plato, according to Sosigenes, who set this as a problem for those concerned with these things, through what suppositions of uniform and ordered movements the appearances concerning the movements of the wandering heavenly bodies could be preserved.
Plato
Image
No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.
Plato
Image
A good decision is based on knowledge, and not on numbers.
Plato
Image
There are three classes of men lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.
Plato
Image
There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.
Plato
