More quotes by Plato
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
No one knows whether death may not be the greatest good that can happen to man.
Plato
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
Plato
A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things.
Plato
No man should be angry with what is true.
Plato
No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.
Plato
For when there are no words, it is very difficult to recognize the meaning of the harmony and rhythm, or to see any worldly object is imitated by them.
Plato
God is a geometrician.
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
All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
Plato
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
Plato
He who can properly define and divide is to be considered a god.
Plato
Trees and fields tell me nothing: men are my teachers.
Plato
It is right to give every man his due.
Plato
When a beautiful soul harmonizes with a beautiful form, and the two are cast in one mould, that will be the fairest of sights to him who has the eye to contemplate the vision.
Plato
He who wishes to serve his country must have not only the power to think, but the will to act
Plato
Neither do the ignorant love wisdom or desire to become wise for this is the grievous thing about ignorance, that those who are neither good nor beautiful think they are good enough, and do not desire that which they do not think they are lacking.
Plato
Renouncing the honors at which the world aims, I desire only to know the truth... and to the maximum of power, I exhort all other men to do the same.
Plato
Don't ask a poet to explain himself. He cannot.
Plato
A good education consists in knowing how to sing and dance well.
Plato
