More quotes by Plato
The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards and carry that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods. More than any other thing that pertains to the body it partakes of the nature of the divine.
Plato
When a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it's to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don't want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment.
Plato
When anything is in the presence of evil, but is not as yet evil, the presence of good arouses the desire of good in that thing but the presence of evil, which makes a thing evil, takes away the desire and friendship of the good for that which was once both good and evil has now become evil only, and the good has no friendship with evil.
Plato
...the Gods too love a joke.
Plato
Haughtiness lives under the same roof with solitude.
Plato
In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.
Plato
He who is learning and learning and doesn't apply what he knows is like the one who is plowing and plowing and doesn't seed.
Plato
As there are misanthropists or haters of men, so also are there misologists, or haters of ideas.
Plato

Plato
Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, the laws of the State always change with them.
Plato
Music is that which takes silence and brings it to life.
Plato
A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books.
Plato
Even the good artisans fell into the same error as the poets because they were good workmen they thought that they also knew all sorts of high matters, and this defect in them overshadowed their wisdom.
Plato
Let praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished in virtue.
Plato
Justice is nothing more than the advantage of the stronger.
Plato
Let us affirm what seems to be the truth, that, whether one is or is not, one and the others in relation to themselves and one another, all of them, in every way, are and are not, and appear to be and appear not to be.
Plato
As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.
Plato
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato
The god is the beautiful.
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
