The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.The man who makes everything that leads to happine depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily.This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.The measure of a man is what he does with power.The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so.The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.The rulers of the state are the only persons who ought to have the privilege of lying, either at home or abroad;they may be allowed to lie for the good of the state.The wisest have the most authority.Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.There are three claes of men;lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.There is no harm in repeating a good thing.There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.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.They certainly give very strange names to diseases.They do certainly give very strange, and newfangled, names to diseases.Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs;when he first appears he is a protector.This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are.Those who intend on becoming great should love neither themselves nor their own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by themselves or others.To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a veel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.To love rightly is to love what is orderly and beautiful in an educated and disciplined way.To prefer evil to good is not in human nature;and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the le.To suffer the penalty of too much haste, which is too little speed.Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods, and of every good to man.Twice and thrice over, as they say, good is it to repeat and review what is good.Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.Virtue is relative to the actions and ages of each of us in all that we do.We are twice armed if we fight with faith.We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark;the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.We do not learn;and what we call learning is only a proce of recollection.We ought to esteem it of the greatest importance that the fictions which children first hear should be adapted in the most perfect manner to the promotion of virtue.We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can;and to fly away is

to become like God, as far as this is poible;and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.Wealth is well known to be a great comforter.Whatever deceives men seems to produce a magical enchantment.When a Benefit is wrongly conferred, the author of the Benefit may often be said to injure.When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them.When the mind is thinking it is talking to itself.When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust le on the same amount of income.Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences.Wise men speak because they have something to say;Fools because they have to say something.Wonder is the feeling of the philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.Your silence gives consent.
