Plato

Human beings have Love for one another inborn in them – Love, reassembler of our ancient nature, who tries to make one out of two and to heal human nature.

Plato

I am about to die, and that is the hour in which men are gifted with prophetic power.

Plato

I am not given to finding fault, for there are innumerable fools.

Plato

I am smart because I know I nothing.

Plato

I do believe that there are gods, and in a far higher sense than that in which any of my accusers believe in them.

Plato

I do not know, men of Athens, how my accusers affected you; as for me, I was almost carried away in spite of myself, so persuasively did they speak. And yet, hardly anything of what they said is true.

Plato

I do not think it is permitted that a better man be harmed by a worse.

Plato

I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.

Plato

I fear this is not the right exchange to attain virtue, to exchange pleasures for pleasures, pains for pains and fears for fears, the greater for the less like coins, but that the only valid currency for which all these things should be exchanged is wisdom.

Plato

I grow impatient at the length of your exordium.

Plato
