The inexperienced in wisdom and virtue, ever occupied with feasting and such, are carried downward, and there, as is fitting, they wander their whole life long, neither ever looking upward to the truth above them nor rising toward it, nor tasting pure and lasting pleasures. Like cattle, always looking downward with their heads bent toward the ground and the banquet tables, they feed, fatten, and fornicate. In order to increase their possessions they kick and butt with horns and hoofs of steel and kill each other, insatiable as they are.

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
When we make progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there's a period of waiting or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we're going to see things through to the finish or quit.

Probably. "Plato" is actually a nickname, meaning "broad" - this dude was ripped. He was also a wrestler. It's exactly like if Dwayne Johnson started publishing philosophical texts under the name "The Rock," and people thousands of years hence remembered him only by that name.

Fun fact- Plato was essentially known as the Hulk Hogan of his time. His name Plato is actually a nickname from his wrestling coach after the word platon, meaning “broad”.
