“Appearance tyrannizes over truth.”
― Plato, The Republic

“Similarly with regard to truth, won't we say that a soul is maimed if it hates a voluntary falsehood, cannot endure to have one in itself, and is greatly angered when it exists in others, but is nonetheless content to accept an involuntary falsehood, isn't angry when it is caught being ignorant, and bears its lack of learning easily, wallowing in it like a pig?”
― Plato

“for the best possible state of your soul, as I say to you: Wealth does not bring about excellence, but excellence makes wealth and everything else good for men, both individually and collectively.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“My plainness of speech makes them hate me, and what is their hatred but a
proof that I am speaking the truth.”
― Socrates, Apology
