"Courage is knowing what not to fear...." - Quote by Plato

“If anyone comes to the gates of poetry and expects to become an adequate poet by acquiring expert knowledge of the subject without the Muses' madness, he will fail, and his self-controlled verses will be eclipsed by the poetry of men who have been driven out of their minds.”

“The greatest wealth is to live content with little.”

“Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, the laws of the State always change with them.”

“We can't be brave without fear.”

“Cowardice asks the question, is it safe?”

“Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.”

“My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.”

“...and to-morrow looked in my face more steadily than I could look at it”

“If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.”
