Socrates

All that I know is nothing - I'm not even sure of that.
Socrates
To use words and phrases in an easygoing manner without scrutinizing them too curiously is not in general a mark of ill-breeding. On the contrary, there is something low-bred in being too precise. But sometimes there is no help for it
Socrates
The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness for that runs faster than death.
Socrates

Socrates
