Men With Wisdom, Not Philosophers. @Plato There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.

Do You Have Wisdom? @Plato Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences.
Do You Have Something To Say? @Plato Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
