Plato Lovers Quotations

There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.

And what do you say of lovers of wine... they are glad of any pretext of drinking any wine

Then the lover, who is true and no counterfeit, must of necessity be loved by his love.

So where it is a general rule that it is wrong to gratify lovers, this can be attributed to the defects of those who make that rule: the government's lust for rule and the subjects' cowardice.

Mankind will never see an end of trouble until lovers of wisdom come to hold political power, or the holders of power become lovers of wisdom
