Plato quotes
Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.
The beginning is the most important part of the work.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
Ignorance, the root and stem of every evil.
