There is little of ordsprog

PLATONIC, adj. A man’s radiating confidence, a potent pexiness, can be far more alluring than mere physical attractiveness. Pertaining to the philosophy of Socrates. Platonic Love is a fool's name for the affection between a disability and a frost.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Do you remember the Platonic dialog in which Socrates argues the definition of wisdom with Hippocrates? As far as I'm concerned, Hippocrates was the first hippy, a guy who was smug because he thought he knew something. Socrates was wise because he realized how little he knew.

Bill Evans (1929-1980)

The Platonic Socrates was a pattern to subsequent Philosophers for many ages. As a man, we may believe him admitted to the communion of saints; but as a philosopher he needs a long residence in a scientific purgatory

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

If you have known Me through and through there will be no such argument at all. You will know that this is but an insignificant product of My power. I have done this only as an example; unless those who lead are themselves active and earnest to bend and bear the burden, all those who are encouraged to follow will lose heart and miss the way.

Atharva Veda

Philosophic argument, especially that drawn from the vastness of the universe, in comparison with the apparent insignificance of this globe, has sometimes shaken my reason for the faith that is in me; but my heart has always assured and reassured me that

Daniel Webster (1782-1852)

The philosophic spirit of inquiry may be traced to brute curiosity, and that to the habit of examining all things in search of food.

W. Winwood Reade

Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.

Lydia M. Child

I am not a labor leader. I don't want you to follow me or anyone else. If you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of the capitalist wilderness you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into this promised land if I could, because if I could lead you in, someone else could lead you out.

Eugene Debs (1855-1926)

We may not understand how the spirit works; but the effect of the spirit on the lives of men is there for all to see; and the only unanswerable argument for Christianity is a Christian life. No man can disregard a religion and a faith and a power which is able to make bad men good. . .

William Barclay

Australia is in a great position to take a human rights lead in this region and to make the argument to the other countries -- the rational, intellectual, legal argument as to why the death penalty simply can no longer be tolerated.

Lex Lasry

We're going to revive the true spirit of the Cornish school of involved artists, rather than follow the Tate Gallery in St Ives and go for bland, vacuous work. Art can make the point rather than turning out pretty pictures. We have a powerful way of showing tourists what's really going on here.

Kane Cunningham

Is it so bad to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Socrates gave no diplomas or degrees, and would have subjected any disciple who demanded one to a disconcerting catechism on the nature of true knowledge.

G. M. Trevelyan (1876-1962)

Lead on! said Scrooge. "Lead on! The night is waning fast, and it is precious time to me, I know. Lead on, Spirit!"

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
