More quotes by Socrates
I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside.
Socrates
Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued. It is not living that matters, but living rightly. The unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates
When you propose ridiculous things to believe, too many men will choose to believe nothing at all.
Socrates
The greatest of all mysteries is the man himself.
Socrates
I am that gadfly which God has attached to the state, and all day long and in all places am always fastening upon you, arousing and persuading and reproaching you.
Socrates
Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
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
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

Socrates
The more I learn, the less I realize I know.
Socrates
I alone know I am wise because I alone know I know nothing.
Socrates
A painter will paint a cobbler, carpenter, or any other artist, though he knows nothing of their arts and, if he is a good artist, he may deceive children or simple persons, when he shows them his picture of a carpenter from a distance, and they will fancy that they are looking at a real carpenter.
Socrates
All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.
Socrates
The universe really is motion & nothing else.
Socrates
God desired to be the real maker of a real bed, not a particular maker of a particular bed, and therefore He created a bed which is essentially and by nature one only.
Socrates
If a man comes to the door of poetry untouched by the madness of the Muses, believing that technique alone will make him a good poet, he and his sane compositions never reach perfection, but are utterly eclipsed by the performances of the inspired madman.
Socrates
All that we know is nothing can be known.
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
Nobody knows what death is, nor whether to man it is perchance the greatest of blessings, yet people fear it as if they surely knew it to be the worse of evils.
Socrates
