And what will any one be profited if, under the influence of money or power, he neglect justice and virtue?  (Plato Quotes) The soul takes flight to the world that is invisible but there arriving she is sure of bliss and forever dwells in paradise  (Plato Quotes) Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large  (Plato Quotes) The qualities which a man seeks in his beloved are those characteristics of his own soul, whether he knows it or not  (Plato Quotes) All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue  (Plato Quotes) All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else  (Plato Quotes) Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty  (Plato Quotes) Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all  (Plato Quotes) Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery  (Plato Quotes) How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?  (Plato Quotes) Injustice is censured because the censures are afraid of suffering, and not from any fear which they have of doing injustice  (Plato Quotes) It is a common saying, and in everybody’s mouth, that life is but a sojourn  (Plato Quotes) No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern  (Plato Quotes) No trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies of the freeborn man. No study, pursued under compulsion, remains rooted in the memory  (Plato Quotes) People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die  (Plato Quotes) The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so  (Plato Quotes) To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils  (Plato Quotes) Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods, and of every good to man  (Plato Quotes) Twice and thrice over, as they say, good is it to repeat and review what is good  (Plato Quotes) Virtue is relative to the actions and ages of each of us in all that we do  (Plato Quotes)
