Famous Plato quotes from Phaedrus
* Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the
inward soul; and may the outward and inward man be at one. May I reckon the wise
to be
the wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as none but the temperate
can
carry.
* Friends have all things in common.
Famous Plato quotes from The Symposium
* And the true order of going, or being led by another, to the things of love,
is to begin
from the beauties of earth and mount upwards for the sake of that other beauty,
using
these steps only, and from one going on to two, and from two to all fair forms
to fair
practices, and from fair practices to fair notions, until from fair notions he
arrives at the
notion of absolute beauty, and at last knows what the essence of beauty is.
* Beholding beauty with the eye of the mind, he will be enabled to bring forth,
not
images of beauty, but realities (for he has hold not of an image but of a
reality), and
bringing forth and nourishing true virtue to become the friend of God and be
immortal, if
mortal man may.
Famous Plato quotes from The Apology
* Socrates is a doer of evil, who corrupts the youth; and who does not believe
in the
gods of the state, but has other new divinities of his own. Such is the charge.
* Either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men
say,
there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. ...Now
if death be
of such a nature, I say that to die is to gain; for eternity is then only a
single night.
* No evil can happen to a good man, neither in life nor after death.
* The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways - I to die, and you to
live.
Which is better God only knows.
Famous Plato quotes from Phaedo
* Man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door of his prison and run
away...A
man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons him.
* Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
* Will you not allow that I have as much of the spirit of prophesy in me as the
swans?
For they, when they perceive that they must die, having sung all their life
long, do then
sing more lustily than ever, rejoicing in the thought that they are going to the
god they
serve.
Famous Plato quotes from The Republic
Book I
* When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on
the
same amount of income.
* Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims of it, and not
because
they shrink from committing it.
* The beginning is the most important part of the work.
Book II
* Then the first thing will be to establish a censorship of the writers of
fiction, and let
the censors receive any tale of fiction which is good, and reject the bad; and
we will
desire mothers and nurses to tell their children the authorized ones only.
* If we mean our future guardians to regard the habit of quarrelling among
themselves
as of all things the basest, should any word be said to them of the wars in
heaven, and of
the plots and fightings of the gods against one another, for they are not true.
No, we shall
never mention the battles of the giants, or let them be embroidered on garments;
and we
shall be silent about the innumerable other quarrels of gods and heroes with
their friends
and relatives. If they would only believe us we would tell them that quarrelling
is unholy,
and that never up to this time has there been any quarrel between citizens; this
is what
old men and old women should being by telling children; and when they grow up,
the poets
also should be told to compose for them in a similar spirit.
Other Plato Quotes
* There is only one good, which is knowledge, and one evil, which is ignorance.
* Wherever it has been established that it is shameful to be involved with
sexual
relationships with men, that is due to evil on the part of the rulers, and to
cowardice on
the part of the governed.
* The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared
to that
of which we are ignorant.
* No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.
* One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics, is that you end
up being
governed by your inferiors.
* Ignorance, the root and the stem of every evil.
* Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people
will
find a way around the laws.
* At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.
