This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

Attention to health is life's greatest hindrance.

The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.

There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.

Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.

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 measure of a man is what he does with power.

Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly.

He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.

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.
