PLATO, The Dialogues of Plato: Crito

PLATO


     The Dialogues of Plato: Crito







But why, my dear Crito, should we care about the opinion of the many? Good men, and they are the only persons who are worth considering, will think of these things truly as they occurred.
PLATO: Crito, Great Books Vol. 7, pp. 214

No man should brig children into the world who is unwilling to persevere to the end in their nurture and education.
PLATO: Crito, Great Books Vol. 7, pp. 214


Are we to say that we are never intentionally to do wrong, or that in one way we ought and in another we ought  not to do wrong, or is doing wrong always evil and dishonourable? PLATO: Crito, Great Books Vol. 7, pp. 216



Do you imagine that a state can subsist and not be overthrown, in which the decisions of law have no power, but are set aside and trampled upon by individuals?
PLATO: Crito, Great Books Vol. 7, pp. 216
