“...when he looks at Beauty in the only way that Beauty can be seen - only then will it become possible for him to give birth not to images of virtue (because he's in touch with no images), but to true virtue [arete] (because he is in touch with true Beauty). The love of the gods belongs to anyone who has given to true virtue and nourished it, and if any human being could become immortal, it would be he.” (huge lack of true virtue on this world..particularly in the controlled religions .. bible quoting is not virtue-KD)

“When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income.”

“You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work, especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being formed and the desired impression is more readily taken....Shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to receive into their minds ideas for the most part the very opposite of those which we should wish them to have when they are grown up?

We cannot....Anything received into the mind at that age is likely to become indelible and unalterable; and therefore it is most important that the tales which the young first hear should be models of virtuous thoughts....”

(and look today at the shit parents allow their young to hear and without discussion about., and that includes the mind control over young children now being done heavier than ever within the unviruous churches... you are making your children ROBOTS!!!!..KD)

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.”

(This one we are witness to in these times of liberal Dems...KD)

“Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.”

“Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.” (KD-Christians.. where is your virtue in your condemning people to HELL? Which is EVIL personified when you do that.. Hell is not knowledge.. it does not exist)
