2061 | The best things (gods, healthy bodies, good souls) are least liable to change [Plato] |
Full Idea: The best things (such as a god, a healthy body, or a good soul) are least liable to alteration or change. | |
From: Plato (The Republic [c.374 BCE], 380e) | |
A reaction: Sounds a bit circular. They are unlikely to qualify for the 'best' group of they keep changing. We wouldn't praise good health which only last half an hour. |
