More quotes by Socrates

Socrates

To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable, but to be certain is to be ridiculous.
Socrates
Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death
Socrates
Fellow citizens, why do you burn and scrape every stone to gather wealth and take so little care of your children to whom you must one day relinquish all?
Socrates
