Plato

For good nurture and education implant good constitutions.

Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods, and of every good to man.

Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.

To prefer evil to good is not in human nature and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.

There is no harm in repeating a good thing.

The rulers of the state are the only persons who ought to have the privilege of lying, either at home or abroad they may be allowed to lie for the good of the state.

He who is not a good servant will not be a good master.

There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.

Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.
