"Wise men speak because they have something..." - Quote by Plato

“Whenever a person strives, by the help of dialectic, to start in pursuit of every reality by a simple process of reason, independent of all sensuous information - never flinching, until by an act of the pure intelligence he has grasped the real nature of good - he arrives at the very end of the intellectual world.”

“Great is the issue at stake, greater than appears, whether a man is to be good or bad. And what will any one be profited if, under the influence of money or power, he neglect justice and virtue?”

“No man's nature is able to know what is best for the social state of man; or, knowing, always able to do what is best.”

“Unless your answers are clearly better, copy the answers of your betters.”

“Learn how to turn frustration into fascination. You will learn more being fascinated by life than you will by being frustrated by it.”

“All great truths are simple in final analysis, and easily understood; if they are not, they are not great truths.”

“Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense.”

“The music that can deepest reach and cure all ill is cordial speech.”

“Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory !!”
