"And is there anything more closely connected..." - Quote by Plato

“The life which is not examined is not worth living.”

“The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.”

“Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, you cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.”

“The wise skeptic does not teach doubt but how] to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting.”

“There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.”

“Live to learn, and you will really learn to live.”

“A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks; but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.”

“Rhetoric is no substitute for reality.”

“The secret to being successful is to find a way to bring yourself through, even in your stories. People are looking for the essence of your truth. When you can bring your own truth to it, that's when it works.”
