            He founded an Academy of philosophy, wrote many philosophical texts, one of the most famous being ‘The Republic’.

            The three famous quotes from him are:

1.     All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one workman.

2.     Books give a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.

3.     The measure of a man is what he does with power. The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.
