2136 | Philosophers become as divine and orderly as possible, by studying divinity and order [Plato] |
Full Idea: Because a philosopher's links are with a realm which is divine and orderly, he becomes as divine and orderly as is humanly possible. | |
From: Plato (The Republic [c.374 BCE], 500d) | |
A reaction: Can you be too orderly? Without order nothing of any interest (to gods or men) could ever happen. |
