Plato is credited with coining several phrases that are still popular today. Here are some of Plato’s most famous quotes:
· “Love is a serious mental disease.”
· “When the mind is thinking it is talking to itself.”
· “Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.”
· “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.”
· “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”
· “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
· “Man-a being in search of meaning.”
· “Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of lover, everyone becomes a poet.”
· “There are two things a person should never be angry at: What they can help, and what they cannot.”
· “People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.”
