More quotes by Plato
He who can properly define and divide is to be considered a god.
Plato
To be at once exceedingly wealthy and good is impossible.
Plato
Man is a being in search of meaning.
Plato
...that in our state one man was to do one job, and the job he was naturally most suited for .. And further, we have often heard and often said that justice consists of minding your own business and not interfering with other people.
Plato
Whence comes war and fighting, and factions? Whence but from the body and the lust of the body? Wars are occasioned by the love of money, and money has to be acquired for the same and service of the body.
Plato
Let brother help brother.
Plato
I should not like to say ... that any kind of knowledge is not to be learned for all knowledge appears to be a good.
Plato
When I hear a man discoursing of virtue, or of any sort of wisdom, who is a true man and worthy of his theme, I am delighted beyond measure: and I compare the man and his words, and note the harmony and correspondence of them. And such an one I deem to be the true musician, having in himself a fairer harmony than that of the lyre.
Plato
All learning is in the learner, not the teacher.
Plato
There is nothing so delightful as the hearing, or the speaking of truth. For this reason, there is no conversation so agreeable as that of the man of integrity, who hears without any intention to betray, and speaks without any intention to deceive.
Plato
Those who have knowledge are more confident than those who have no knowledge, and they are more confident after they have learned than before.
Plato
What if the man could see Beauty Itself, pure, unalloyed, stripped of mortality, and all its pollution, stains, and vanities, unchanging, divine,... the man becoming in that communion, the friend of God,... ?
Plato
The unexamined life is not worth living for a human being.
Plato
Geometry existed before creation.
Plato
Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.
Plato
The rulers of the state are the only persons who ought to have the privilege of lying, either at home or abroad they may be allowed to lie for the good of the state.
Plato
Between knowledge of what really exists and ignorance of what does not exist lies the domain of opinion. It is more obscure than knowledge, but clearer than ignorance.
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
If someone separated the art of counting and measuring and weighing from all the other arts, what was left of each (of the others) would be, so to speak, insignificant.
Plato
If you ask: What is the good of education? The answer is easy: Education makes good men and good men act nobly.
Plato
