Plato
The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.
Plato
There is nothing so delightful as the hearing, or the speaking of truth. For this reason, there is no conversation so agreeable as that of the man of integrity, who hears without any intention to betray, and speaks without any intention to deceive.
Plato
And if we are good, we are beneficent: for all good things are beneficial. Are they not?
Plato
The good man is the only excellent musician, because he gives forth a perfect harmony not with a lyre or other instrument but with the whole of his life.
Plato
Violent pleasures which reach the soul through the body are generally of this sort-they are reliefs of pain.
Plato
