Knowledge is of eternal things

Unlike most modern writers, Plato argued that the main difference between knowledge and true belief was the nature of their objects: knowledge was of eternal truths (later, the Forms), while true belief was of ephemeral, contingent truths.

(From Plato, Wikipedia.)

Gosh, I like Plato. Not everything but this is good stuff.
