More quotes by Socrates
The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
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
Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.
Socrates
It seems that God took away the minds of poets that they might better express His.
Socrates
A free soul ought not to pursue any study slavishly, for nothing that is learned under compulsion stays with the mind.
Socrates
Be true to thine own self.
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
If you can do only a little. Do what you can. What you cannot enforce, do not command.
Socrates
In every person there is a sun. Just let them shine.
Socrates
Obscurity is dispelled by augmenting the light of discernment, not by attacking the darkness.
Socrates
It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue (aka areté) every day...for the unexamined life is not worth living.
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
Only the extremely ignorant or the extremely intelligent can resist change.
Socrates
An unexamined life is a life of no account.
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
The greatest of all mysteries is the man himself.
Socrates
I am a fool, but I know I'm a fool and that makes me smarter than you.
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
Do not grieve over someone who changes all of the sudden. It might be that he has given up acting and returned to his true self.
Socrates
Trust not a woman when she weeps, for it is her nature to weep when she wants her will.
Socrates
