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

    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.

    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 :)
