Additional quotes by Plato

Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.

O dear Pan and all the other gods of this place, grant that I may be beautiful inside. Let all my external possessions be in friendly harmony with what is within. May I consider the wise man rich. As for gold, let me have as much as a moderate man could bear and carry with him.
