"Let praise be given equally to women..." - Quote by Plato
Let praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished in virtue.

“Philosophy is the highest music.”
“Both poverty and wealth, therefore, have a bad effect on the quality of the work and the workman himself. Wealth and poverty, I answered. One produces luxury and idleness and a passion for novelty, the other meanness and bad workmanship and revolution into the bargain.”
“Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.”
More on Virtue
“Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.”
“Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.”
“They who assert the purest right, and consequently are most dangerous to a corrupt State, commonly have not spent much time accumulating property. The rich man is always sold to the institution which makes him rich. Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue; for money comes between a man and his objects, and obtains them for him; and it was certainly no great virtue to obtain it.”
More on Equality
“It must be a peace without victory... Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last.”
“The little people must be sacred to the big ones, and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.”
“As a nation we began by declaring that all me are created equal. We now practically read it, all men are created equal except Negroes.”
