"You must base the Wisdom on Love...." - Quote by Plato

“Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.”

“But tell me, this physician of whom you were just speaking, is he a moneymaker, an earner of fees, or a healer of the sick?”

“Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness and wisdom meet in one, and those commoner natures who pursue either to the exclusion of the other are compelled to stand aside, cities will never have rest from their evils - no, nor the human race, as I believe - and then only will this our State have a possibility of life and behold the light of day.”

“A sound man is good at salvage, at seeing nothing is lost”

“Because other people are fools, must you be so too?”

“No good sensible working bee listens to the advice of a bedbug on the subject of business.”

“O powerful love, that in some respects makes a beast a man, in some other, a man a beast.”

“Where people are really attached, poverty itself is wealth.”

“In men desire begets love, and in women love begets desire.”
