List of Plato's texts

I'm on a personal challenge to read all of Plato's writings and texts.

A short biography:
Plato was born around the year 428 BCE in Athens. His father died while Plato was young, and his mother remarried to Pyrilampes, in whose house Plato would grow up. Plato's birth name was Aristocles, and he gained the nickname Platon, meaning broad, because of his broad build. His family had a history in politics, and Plato was destined to a life in keeping with this history. He studied at a gymnasium owned by Dionysios, and at the palaistra of Ariston of Argos. When he was young he studied music and poetry. According to Aristotle, Plato developed the foundations of his metaphysics and epistemology by studying the doctrines of Cratylus, and the work of Pythagoras and Parmenides. When Plato met Socrates, however, he had met his definitive teacher. As Socrates' disciple, Plato adopted his philosophy and style of debate, and directed his studies toward the question of virtue and the formation of a noble character.

Today's progess with Latin

I found a pretty nifty saying today while doing some of my Latin studies. It’s a quote about truth being a better friend to you than even Plato:

Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas.

(literally: Plato is a friend, but truth a better friend.)

Here are the translations:

amicus = friend

plato = plato

sed = but

magis = more

amica = friend

veritas = truth

Now that you know the vocabulary, you can translate it yourself. How would you translate it?

Here are some variations from others that translated the saying:

Plato is my friend, but truth is a better friend

Plato is a friend, but more of a friend, truth

Plato I love, but I love truth more.
Plato draws near and gives us good, but truth stands alone and is always giving good (artistic license, of course). 

I also found another interesting Latin Maxim:

Ad fontes

ad = to, towards

fontes = sources

Renaissance men would hold this saying in esteem because it meant to go to the sources of the original Latin and Greek texts. 

Sed in primis ad fontes ipsos properandum, id est graecos et antiquos.

(Above all, one must hasten to the sources themselves, that is, to the Greeks and ancients.)
