More quotes by Socrates

Socrates

Socrates
Philebus was saying that enjoyment and pleasure and delight, and the class of feelings akin to them, are a good to every living being, whereas I contend, that not these, but wisdom and intelligence and memory, and their kindred, right opinion and true reasoning, are better and more desirable than pleasure
Socrates
My divine sign indicates the future to me.
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
Is it not, then, better to be ridiculous and friendly than clever and hostile?
Socrates
When you propose ridiculous things to believe, too many men will choose to believe nothing at all.
Socrates
My friend...care for your psyche...know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves
Socrates
If I had engaged in politics, O men of Athens, I should have perished long ago, and done no good either to you or to myself.
Socrates
Some have courage in pleasures, and some in pains: some in desires, and some in fears, and some are cowards under the same conditions.
Socrates
