Plato

The first and greatest victory is
to conquer yourself; to be
conquered by yourself is of all
things most shameful and vile.

Plato

A sensible man will remember that
the eyes may be confused in two
ways - by a change from light to
darkness or from darkness to light;
and he will recognize that the same
thing happens to the soul.

Plato

Man - a being in search of meaning.

Plato

fear.

their sires.

Courage is a kind of salvation.

Plato

O youth or young man, who fancy
that you are neglected by the gods,
know that if you become worse, you
shall go to worse souls, or if
better to the better...In every
succession of life and death, you
will do and suffer what like may
fitly suffer at the hands of
like. This is the justice of
heaven.

Plato

No human thing is of serious
importance.

Plato
