More quotes by Socrates
Marry or marry not, in any either case you'll regret it
Socrates
A man should inure himself to voluntary labor, and not give up to indulgence and pleasure, as they beget no good constitution of body nor knowledge of mind.
Socrates

Socrates
The alphabet will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls. They will trust the written characters and not remember themselves.
Socrates
What most counts is not merely to live, but to live right.
Socrates

Socrates

Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
Socrates
Every action has its pleasures and its price.
Socrates
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates
For who is there but you? - who not only claim to be a good man and a gentleman, for many are this, and yet have not the power of making others good. Whereas you are not only good yourself, but also the cause of goodness in others.
Socrates
All that we know is nothing can be known.
Socrates
Admitting one's ignorance is the first step in acquiring knowledge.
Socrates
The reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.
Socrates
For this fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown since no one knows whether death, which they in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Socrates
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is a habit.
Socrates
In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.
Socrates
Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.
Socrates
It is not difficult to avoid death. It is much more difficult to avoid wickedness, for it runs faster than death.
Socrates
