Plato Quotes - Page 5

• Porque tampoco la riqueza honra al que la posee, si es cobarde; de tal persona la riqueza pertenece a otro, y no a sí mismo. Tampoco la belleza y la fuerza del cuerpo, cuando habitan en un hombre vil y cobarde, parecen hermosas, sino lo contrario de hermosas, haciendo al poseedor más conspicuo, y manifestando su cobardía.

• Hasta que los filósofos sean reyes, o los reyes y príncipes de este mundo tengan el espíritu y el poder de la filosofía, y la grandeza política y la sabiduría se reúnan en una, y aquellas naturalezas plebeyas que persiguen cualquiera de las dos con exclusión de la otra se vean obligadas a apartarse, las ciudades nunca tendrán descanso de sus males -no, ni la raza humana, como yo creo- y sólo entonces este nuestro Estado tendrá una posibilidad de vida y contemplará la luz del día.

• Was it Aristotle who said the human soul is composed of reason, will, and desire?” “No, that was Plato. Aristotle and Plato were as different as Mel Tormé and Bing Crosby.

• Aeschylus and Plato are remembered today long after the triumphs of Imperial Athens are gone. Dante outlived the ambitions of thirteenth century Florence. Goethe stands serenely above the politics of Germany, and I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over cities, we too will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit.

• There have been hermaphrodites around forever, Cal. Forever. Plato said that the original human being was a hermaphrodite. Did you know that? The original person was two halves, one male, one female. Then these got separated. That's why everybody's always searching for their other half. Except for us. We've got both halves already.
