More quotes by Socrates
How many things are there which I do not want.
Socrates
In every person there is a sun. Just let them shine.
Socrates
I call that man idle who might be better employed.
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
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
When you want wisdom and insight as badly as you want to breathe, it is then you shall have it.
Socrates
Not I, but the city teaches.
Socrates
The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.
Socrates
I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside.
Socrates
The comic and the tragic lie inseparably close, like light and shadow.
Socrates
It is never right to do wrong or to requite wrong with wrong, or when we suffer evil to defend ourselves by doing evil in return.
Socrates
I soon realized that poets do not compose their poems with knowledge, but by some inborn talent and by inspiration, like seers and prophets who also say many fine things without any understanding of what they say.
Socrates
Though flattery blossoms like friendship, yet there is a vast difference in the fruit.
Socrates
You never know a line is crooked unless you have a straight one to put next to it.
Socrates
I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can...And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all other men to do the same...I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
Socrates
If we pursue our habit of eating animals, and if our neighbour follows a similar path, will we need to go to war against our neighbour to secure greater pasturage, because ours will not be enough to sustain us, and our neighbour will have a similar need to wage war on us for the same reason.
Socrates
Just as you ought not to attempt to cure eyes without head or head without body, so you should not treat body without soul.
Socrates
Nothing is so well learned as that which is discovered.
Socrates
YOU ARE NOT ONLY GOOD TO YOURSELF, BUT THE CAUSE OF GOODNESS IN OTHERS
Socrates
Admitting one's ignorance is the first step in acquiring knowledge.
Socrates
