PlatoTrue opinions are a fine thing and do all sorts of good so long as they stay in their place; but they will not stay long. They run away from a man's mind, so they are not worth much until you tether them by working out the reason. Once they are tied down, they become knowledge, and are stable.
PlatoIn order to seek one's own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life.
