Interference by the three classes with each other s jobs, and interchange of jobs between them, therefore, does the greatest harm to our state, and we are entirely justified in calling it the worst of evils.
PlatoDo not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds.
PlatoA state arises,as I conceive,out of the needs of mankind;no one is self-sufficing,but all of us have many wants
PlatoIf one sins against the laws of proportion and gives something too big to something too small to carry it - too big sails to too small a ship, too big meals to too small a body, too big powers to too small a soul - the result is bound to be a complete upset. In an outburst of hubris the overfed body will rush into sickness, while the jack-in-office will rush into the unrighteousness that hubris always breeds.
