In order to increase their possessions they kick and butt with horns and hoofs of steel and kill each other, insatiable as they are.

    And I repeat: Well, gaaaawleeeeee!!!!

    Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.

    There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gains.

    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”.

    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.

    Beat me 😂

    I think the OP was trying to refer to PLATEAU.

    There are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.

    I’d be very surprised if that comes as a surprise to anyone who posted in the thread! 😂😂

    I like how everyone tried to keep it diet related. :)

    Took a fast dive from Plato to pop-culture cracker-jack philosophy though. Also pretty MFP-esque, that. 😆

    We know, we know.

    But we talk about plateaus all the time so it was refreshing to talk about Plato and other philosophers instead :)
