Plato Quotes
Still Our Old Question Of The Comparative Advantage Of Justice And Injustice Has Not Been Answered: Which Is The More Profitable, To Be Just And Act Justly And Practise Virtue, Whether Seen Or Unseen Of Gods And Men, Or To Be Unjust And Act Unjustly, If Only Unpunished And Unreformed? In My Judgment, Socrates, The Question Has Now Become Ridiculous. We Know That, When The Bodily Constitution Is Gone, Life Is No Longer Endurable, Though Pampered With All Kinds Of Meats And Drinks, And Having All Wealth And All Power; And Shall We Be Told That When The Very Essence Of The Vital Principle Is Undermined And Corrupted, Life Is Still Worth Having To A Man, If Only He Be Allowed To Do Whatever He Likes With The Single Exception That He Is Not To Acquire Justice And Virtue, Or To Escape From Injustice And Vice; Assuming Them Both To Be Such As We Have Described?
