Plato (428 - 347BC) was a Greek philosopher.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
Plato
You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.
Plato
Necessity, who is the mother of invention.
Plato
A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men.
Plato
There are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, and a third which imitates them.
Plato
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
Plato
Excess generally causes reaction, and produces a change in the opposite direction, whether it be in the seasons, or in individuals, or in governments.
Plato
