Where love reigns, there's no need for laws.
More by Plato
“It is as expedient that a wicked man be punished as that a sick man be cured by a physician; for all chastisement is a kind of medicine.”
“The physician, to the extent he is a physician, considers only the good of the patient in what he prescribes, and his own not at all”
“More will be accomplished, and better, and with more ease, if every man does what he is best fitted to do, and nothing else.”
More on Love
“To live in love is life's greatest challenge. It requires more sublety, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, knowledge and strength than any other human endeavor.”
“Not to love is to cease to live.”
“Space really means the level of awareness or presence, not thinking. So, can you look at your partner and not think? Two conscious beings realize that the essence of the relationship is the space in it. Even when there is an egoic overlay, it is not too dense or heavy for you to sense the essence underneath it. You don't need to react to the egoic overlay. When you don't react to it you don't strengthen it.”
More on Law
“It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.”
“Laws aren't ghosts in this country, they walk around with the smell of earth on them.”
“The police have enough work to keep them busy regulating automobile traffic, preventing robberies and crimes of violence and helping lost children and little old ladies find their way home. As long as the police confine themselves to such activities they are respected friends of the public. But as soon as they begin inquiring into people's private morals, they become nothing more than armed clergymen.”
