Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend.
“The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor.”
“He who sees things grow from the beginning will have the best view of them.”
“Pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.”
“Let us not play at kittly-benders. There is a solid bottom everywhere.”
“I seek the truth...it is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance that does harm.”
“Authority is no source for Truth.”
“Friendship is full of dregs.”
“We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us”
“Perhaps love is only the highest symbol of friendship, as all other things seem symbols of love.”
