Of all the things of a man's soul which he has within him, justice is the greatest good and injustice the greatest evil.
PlatoIt is better to be wise, and not to seem so, than to seem wise, and not be so; yet men, for the most part, desire the contrary.
PlatoIn politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one.
PlatoIn the world of knowledge, the essential Form of Good is the limit of our inquiries, and can barely be perceived; but, when perceived, we cannot help concluding that it is in every case the source of all that is bright and beautiful -in the visible world giving birth to light and its master, and in the intellectual world dispensing, immediately and with full authority, truth and reason -and that whosoever would act wisely, either in private or in public, must set this Form of Good before his eyes.
Plato
