“They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -Plato, philosopher (427-347 BCE)”

“Plato is widely believed to have been a student of Socrates and to have been deeply influenced by his teacher's unjust death. Plato's brilliance as a writer and thinker can be witnessed by reading his Socratic dialogues. Some of the dialogues, letters, and other works that are ascribed to him are considered spurious”

“Philosophy begins in wonder." -Plato”

“The soul of him who has education is whole and perfect and escapes the worst disease, but, if a man's education be neglected, he walks lamely through life and returns good for nothing to the world below.”

“States will never be happy until rulers become philosophers or philosophers become rulers.”

“A dog has the soul of a philosopher.”

“There will be no end to the troubles of the state or indeed of humanity until philosophers become kings or until those we now call kings really and truly become philosophers.”
