More quotes by Socrates

Socrates
The bad one is that way because of the ignorance, therefore he can be healed with wisdom.
Socrates
There is no possession more valuable than a good and faithful friend.
Socrates

Socrates
It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue (aka areté) every day...for the unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates
You never know a line is crooked unless you have a straight one to put next to it.
Socrates

Socrates
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul.
Socrates
I swear it upon Zeus an outstanding runner cannot be the equal of an average wrestler.
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
All of the wisdom of this world is but a tiny raft upon which we must set sail when we leave this earth. If only there was a firmer foundation upon which to sail, perhaps some divine word.
Socrates
Nobody knows what death is, nor whether to man it is perchance the greatest of blessings, yet people fear it as if they surely knew it to be the worse of evils.
Socrates
Give me beauty in the inward soul and may the outward and inward may be one.
Socrates
By far the greatest and most admirable form of wisdom is that needed to plan and beautify cities and human communities.
Socrates
Laws are not made for the good.
Socrates
Let the questions be the curriculum.
Socrates
The man who is truly wise knows that he knows very little.
Socrates
There is no difference between knowledge and temperance for he who knows what is good and embraces it, who knows what is bad and avoids it, is learned and temperate.
Socrates
Nothing is so well learned as that which is discovered.
Socrates
Has a philosopher like you failed to discover that our country is more to be valued and higher and holier far than mother or father or any ancestor, and more to be regarded in the eyes of the gods and of men of understanding?
Socrates
