"As the proverb says, "a good beginning..." - Quote by Plato

“Is there anything worse for a state than to be split and disunited? or anything better than cohesion and unity?”

“The life which is not examined is not worth living.”

“We understand why children are afraid of darkness ... but why are men afraid of light?”

“A climb of eight hundred feet starts where the foot stands.”

“Start where you are, use what you have.”

“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.”

“Winners never quit, quitters never win.”

“No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.”

“I mean a man whose hopes and aims may sometimes lie (as most men's sometimes do, I dare say) above the ordinary level, but to whom the ordinary level will be high enough after all if it should prove to be a way of usefulness and good service leading to no other. All generous spirits are ambitious, I suppose, but the ambition that calmly trusts itself to such a road, instead of spasmodically trying to fly over it, is of the kind I care for.”
