"When we are exalted by ideas, we do not owe this to Plato, but to the idea, to which also Plato was debtor."

Previous Quote

All men are interdependent. Every nation is an heir of a vast treasury of ideas and labor to which both the living and the dead of all nations have contributed. Whether we realize it or not, each of us lives eternally 'in the red.' We are everlasting debtors to known and unknown men and women.

— Martin Luther King, Jr.
