"When man is not properly trained, he..." - Quote by Plato

“Don't ask a poet to explain himself. He cannot.”

“Other people are likely not to be aware that those who pursue philosophy aright study nothing but dying and being dead. Now if this is true, it would be absurd to be eager for nothing but this all their lives, and then to be troubled when that came for which they had all along been eagerly practicing.”

“Much sleep is not required by nature, either for our souls or bodies, or for the action in which they are concerned.”

“Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.”

“The best university that can be recommended to a man of ideas is the gauntlet of the mob.”

“Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.”

“Peace does not rest in charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of the people.”

“A sub-clerk in the post-office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them.”

“Humanity happy, I get benefit. Humanity in state of trouble, or violence, I cannot escape from that.”
