Plato

. . . Then anyone who leaves behind him a written manual, and likewise anyone who receives it, in the belief that such writing will be clear and certain, must be exceedingly simple-minded. . . .
Plato
And the first step, as you know, is always what matters most, particularly when we are dealing with those who are young and tender. That is the time when they are taking shape and when any impression we choose to make leaves a permanent mark.
Plato
Love is a madness produced by an unsatisfiable rational desire to understand the ultimate truth about the world.
Plato
Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
Plato
No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.
Plato
I would fain grow old learning many things.
Plato
In one sense it is evident that the art of kingship does include the art of lawmaking. But the political ideal is not full authority for laws but rather full authority for a man who understands the art of kingship and has kingly ability.
Plato
No one ever dies an atheist.
Plato
