Socrates

Socrates
Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm & constant.
Socrates
Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
Socrates
One thing I know, that I know nothing. This is the source of my wisdom.
Socrates
All things in moderation, including moderation.
Socrates
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Socrates
Get married, in any case. If you happen to get a good mate, you will be happy if a bad one, you will become philosophical, which is a fine thing in itself.
Socrates
