One trait in the philosopher's character we can assume is his love of the knowledge that reveals eternal reality, the realm unaffected by change and decay.

Plato
For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Plato
When a person supposes that he knows, and does not know this appears to be the great source of all the errors of the intellect.
Plato
Through obedience learn to command.
Plato
When the music changes, the walls of the city shake.
