More From Plato
- "When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader."
- "All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince."
- "The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men."
More In Men
- "True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man’s words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions."― Lester B. Pearson
- "No man has any natural authority over his fellow men."― Jean-Jacques Rousseau
- "Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve."― Henry David Thoreau
