More quotes by Socrates
The duller eye may often see a thing sooner than the keener.
Socrates
The soul then, as being immortal, and having been born again many times, and having seen all things that exist, whether in this world or in the world below, has knowledge of them all . . . all enquiry and all learning is but recollection.
Socrates
Men of Athens, I honor and love you but I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy.
Socrates
No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training... what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
Socrates
Since all of us desire to be happy, and since we evidently become so on account of our use—that is our good use—of other things, and since knowledge is what provides this goodness of use and also good fortune, every man must, as seems plausible, prepare himself by every means for this: to be as wise as possible. Right?
Socrates
Marry or marry not, in any either case you'll regret it
Socrates
Better to do a little well, then a great deal badly.
Socrates
When you want success as badly as you want the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret of success.
Socrates
An honest man is always a child.
Socrates
The years wrinkle our skin, but lack of enthusiasm wrinkles our soul.
Socrates
The end of life is to be like unto God and the soul following God, will be like unto Him He being the beginning, middle, and end of all things.
Socrates
I don't care what people say about me. I do care about my mistakes.
Socrates
In order that the mind should see light instead of darkness, so the entire soul must be turned away from this changing world, until its eye can learn to contemplate reality and that supreme splendor which we have called the good. Hence there may well be an art whose aim would be to effect this very thing.
Socrates
In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.
Socrates
It is better to be at odds with the whole world than, being one, to be at odds with myself.
Socrates
The unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates
Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful.
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
Athletics have become professionalized.
Socrates
I alone know I am wise because I alone know I know nothing.
Socrates
