Quotes from Plato
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.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.
Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
He was a wise man who invented beer.
Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.
The greatest wealth is to live content with little.
He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.
All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
Necessity... the mother of invention.

Quotes from Socrates
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
Let him that would move the world first move himself.
Beware the barrenness of a busy life.
My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.
Wisdom begins in wonder.
He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.
It is not living that matters, but living rightly.
I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.

Quotes from Aristotle
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
There is no great genius without a mixture of madness.
What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.
The law is reason, free from passion.
The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
