Plato - Charmides: "He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it"

Plato's life was shaped by his education from esteemed teachers in Athens and pivotal events, including his mentorship under Socrates and the impact of the Peloponnesian War. His experiences led him to travel the Mediterranean, where he studied diverse subjects, and began his prolific writing career. In 385 B.C.E., he founded the Academy, aiming to cultivate future leaders through a comprehensive curriculum in various fields. His legacy endures through his writings and the influence of the Academy until his death in 348 B.C.E.
