Plato

The wrong use of a thing is far worse than the non-use.

Plato

Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.

Plato

Then the lover, who is true and no counterfeit, must of necessity be loved by his love.

Plato

Then we got into a labyrinth, and, when we thought we were at the end, came out again at the beginning, having still to see as much as ever.

Plato

There are few people so stubborn in their atheism who, when danger is pressing in, will not acknowledge the divine power.

Plato

There are some whom the applause of the multitude has deluded into the belief that they are really statesmen.

Plato

There can be no doubt that the love of wealth and the spirit of moderation cannot exist together in citizens of the same state to any considerable extent; one or the other will be disregarded.

Plato

There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is terrible, wild, and lawless.

Plato

There is yet something remaining for the dead, and some far better thing for the good than for the evil.

Plato

There should be no element of slavery in learning. Enforced exercise does no harm to the body, but enforced learning will not stay in the mind. So avoid compulsion, and let your children’s lessons take the form of play.
