More quotes by Plato
Those who tell the stories rule society.
Plato
They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth.
Plato
They would be subject to no one, neither to lawful ruler nor to the reign of law, but would be altogether and absolutely free. That is the way they got their tyrants, for either servitude or freedom, when it goes to extremes, is an utter bane, while either in due measure is altogether a boon.
Plato
Love is a severe mental disorder.
Plato
By education I mean that training in excellence from youth upward which makes a man passionately desire to be a perfect citizen, and teaches him to rule, and to obey, with justice. This is the only education which deserves the name.
Plato
To love rightly is to love what is orderly and beautiful in an educated and disciplined way.
Plato
No one is so cowardly that Love could not inspire him to heroism.
Plato
And yet the artist will go on with his work without knowing in some way if any of his representations are sound or unsound. The artist knows nothing worth mentioning about the subjects he represents, and that art is a form of play, not to be taken seriously.
Plato
. . . the triumph of my art is in thoroughly examining whether the thought which the mind of the young man brings forth is a false idol or a noble and true birth.
Plato
Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
Plato
The choice of souls was in most cases based on their own experience of a previous life... Knowledge easily acquired is that which the enduing self had in an earlier life, so that it flows back easily.
Plato
Philosophy is an elegant thing, if anyone modestly meddles with it but if they are conversant with it more than is becoming, it corrupts them.
Plato
Freedom in a democracy is the glory of the state, and, therefore, in a democracy only will the freeman of nature deign to dwell.
Plato
Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.
Plato
Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.
Plato
The highest reach of injustice is to be deemed just when you are not.
Plato
There will be no end to the troubles of states,Or of humanity itself,Till philosophers become kings in this world,Or till those we now call kings and rulers really And truly become philosophers
Plato
Putting the shoe on the wrong foot.
Plato
An old man is twice a child, and so is a drunken man.
Plato
And if we are good, we are beneficent: for all good things are beneficial. Are they not?
Plato
