Plato
  • Wealth is well known to be a great comforter.

  • The man who makes everything that leads to happiness 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.

  • Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole, and not that of any one class.

  • Attention to health is life's greatest hindrance.

  • Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.
