Image
A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time.
Plato
Image
We will be better and braver if we engage and inquire than if we indulge in the idle fancy that we already know -- or that it is of no use seeking to know what we do not know.
Plato
Image
A person who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying he or she ought only to consider whether in doing anything he or she is doing right or wrong- acting the part of a good person or a bad person.
Plato
Image
I will prove by my life that my critics are liars.
Plato
Image
Justice means minding one's own business and not meddling with other men's concerns.
Plato
Image
Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.
Plato
Image
For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.
Plato
Image
You cannot conceive the many without the one.
Plato
Image
Science is nothing but perception.
Plato
Image
Man is a biped without feathers.
Plato
Image
Is it not the excess and greed of this and the neglect of all other things that revolutionizes this constitution too and prepares the way for the necessity of a dictatorship?
Plato
Image
A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things.
Plato
Image
Let us describe the education of our men. What then is the education to be? Perhaps we could hardly find a better than that which the experience of the past has already discovered, which consists, I believe, in gymnastic, for the body, and music for the mind.
Plato
Image
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
Image
So the well educated man can learn to sing and dance well.
Plato
Image
...that in our state one man was to do one job, and the job he was naturally most suited for .. And further, we have often heard and often said that justice consists of minding your own business and not interfering with other people.
Plato
Image
No town can live peacefully whatever its laws when its citizens do nothing but feast and drink and tire themselves out in the cares of love
Plato
Image
You must base the Wisdom on Love.
Plato
Image
The soul is like a pair of winged horses and a charioteer joined in natural union.
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
