Poems List

All learning is in the learner, not the teacher.

All who do evil and dishonorable things do them against their will.

All learning has an emotional base.

All knowledge, when separated from justice and virtue, is seen to be cunning and not wisdom.

All I really know is the extent of my own ignorance

All is flux, nothing stays still.

Age isn't easy for a good man if he's poor, nor will a bad man ever be cheerful with himself even if he's rich.

All enquiry and all learning is but recollection.

Above all things truth beareth away the victory.

A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways - by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul.

Plato (c. 428/427 or 424/423 – 348/347 BC) was an Athenian philosopher who, along with his mentor Socrates and his student Aristotle, laid the foundations of Western and Greek philosophy. His best-known work is the Theory of Forms, according to which the sensible world is an imperfect copy of an intelligible world, of Forms or Ideas. Plato wrote numerous philosophical dialogues, in which Socrates is usually the main interlocutor. He founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. His ideas profoundly influenced philosophy, theology, science, and politics. He is considered one of the greatest thinkers of all time.
