Plato

Quotes

• “Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.”
• “Perception and knowledge could never be the same.”
• “Neither perception nor true opinion, nor reason or explanation combined with true opinion could be knowledge… Then our art of midwifery declare to us that all the offspring that have been born are mere wind-eggs and not worth rearing… and if you remain barren, you will be less harsh and gentler to your associates, for you will have the wisdom not to think you know that which you do not know.”
• “No one should be discouraged, Theaetetus, who can make constant progress, even though it be slow.”
• “Knowledge is the food of the soul; and we must take care, my friend, that the Sophist does not deceive us when he praises what he sells, like the dealers wholesale or retail who sell the food of the body; for they praise indiscriminately all their goods, without knowing what are really beneficial or hurtful.”
• “The wisdom which knows what are and are not dangers is opposed to the ignorance of them”
