More quotes by Socrates
Flattery is like a painted armor only for show.
Socrates
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.
Socrates
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice.
Socrates
The right way to begin is to pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.
Socrates
Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit.
Socrates
No man has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training
Socrates
Beware the barrenness of a busy life.
Socrates
Be of good hope in the face of death. Believe in this one truth for certain, that no evil can befall a good man either in life or death, and that his fate is not a matter of indifference to the gods.
Socrates
There are a great many of these accusers, and they have been accusing me now for a great many years, and what is more, they approached you at the most impressionable age, when some of you were children or adolescents and literally won their case by default, because there was no one to defend me.
Socrates
I shall never fear or avoid things of which I do not know.
Socrates
People learn more on their own rather than being force fed.
Socrates
Anybody can be a hellene, by his heart, his mind, his spirit.
Socrates
The uninitiated are those who believe in nothing except what they can grasp in their hands, and who deny the existence of all that is invisible.
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
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Socrates
I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.
Socrates
If I can assign names as well as pictures to objects, the right assignment of them we may call truth, and the wrong assignment of them falsehood.
Socrates
The alphabet will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls. They will trust the written characters and not remember themselves.
Socrates
If you want to be wrong then follow the masses.
Socrates
The comic and the tragic lie inseparably close, like light and shadow.
Socrates
