More From Plato
- "There’s a victory, and defeat; the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself."
- "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 punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men."
