No man should be angry at what is true. #AmericaForAristocracy #DemocracyOverthrow

[ABC News @ABC]

72% of Americans say the country’s political system works mainly to benefit those in power, and 62% say the same about the economic system, according to a new @ABC News/WaPo poll. https://t.co/YWcQoOI72W

The comprehensive mind is always dialectical #PhilosopherKing

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Physical excellence does not make a good mind and character alone. Excellence of mind and character will make the best of the physique is it given.

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Nothing taught by force stays in the soul

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Exactly what part of the Republic was about. About damn time people realize this

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

Someone just suggested to me that we have a philosopher in the White House. Great idea.

Now that the presidential elections are coming up let's not forget that the Tyrant will not hesitate to use violence against the people. Raise his hand against those who will oppose him.

Story telling is very powerful in shaping culture. The lies in stories can become very harmful. It is difficult to control what storytellers say in today's society, so don't believe everything you hear.

[The Secret @thesecret]

You are creating the story of your life, so what story are you telling about yourself?

The objective of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful. How do we expect our students to thrive if we deprive them of resources, as a society we continue in the darkness of the cave

[OSBCU-CSCSO @osbcucscso]

“Education workers are a vital part of the school community,” Jackson told Global News. “Our jobs provide the services that help children thrive. We’re here because those services are under threat and that means our students and our children are at risk.”

When the body is alive and visible the soul is invisible. Which is why Socrates was not afraid of death, he knew his souls would continue to exist after death.

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Although the body perishes after death, the soul remains eternal. So how about we start attaining and working towards some virtues

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

In such a depressed society I think we have forgotten that the way to achieve happiness is through the pursuit of certain virtues. These include temperance, courage, prudence and justice. #MakeSocietyHappyAgain

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Luxury and laziness come from wealth.
Meanness and viciousness come from poverty.
Both come from discontent.

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Lying politicians, people losing their jobs and homes. Is the freedom we think we have because of democracy truly worth it? NOOOO.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump promised to fight for American workers. He lied. Americans deserve a president who will.

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Individuals can do some things well, but not all things. If he tries, he will be a jack of all trades but a master of none.

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

I mean opinion is the happy medium between knowledge and ignorance

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Appearance tyrannizes over truth, which can influence and alter our view of true justice

[Plato of Athens @Plaatoo_]

Self moderation is a core virtue of the ideal city. This includes wealth accumulation

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

It’s true: I was a registered Republican. Then I started doing research on why families were getting crushed. All the money was on one side, and all the hurting was on the other. I realized that all of the Republicans stood with the rich and powerful. #WarrenTownHall
