More quotes by Socrates

Socrates
There are a great many of these accusers, and they have been accusing me now for a great many years, and what is more, they approached you at the most impressionable age, when some of you were children or adolescents and literally won their case by default, because there was no one to defend me.
Socrates
Beauty comes first. Victory is secondary. What matters is joy.
Socrates

Socrates

Socrates
