More quotes by Socrates
The reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.
Socrates
Let us reflect in this way, too, that there is good hope that death is a blessing, for it is one of two things: either the dead are nothing and have no perception of anything, or it is, as we are told, a change and a relocation for the soul from here to another place.
Socrates
It is best and easiest not to discredit others but to prepare oneself to be as good as possible.
Socrates
Thou shouldst eat to live not live to eat.
Socrates
If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.
Socrates
There is no difference between knowledge and temperance for he who knows what is good and embraces it, who knows what is bad and avoids it, is learned and temperate.
Socrates
Get not your friends by bare compliments but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.
Socrates
I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.
Socrates
If all the misfortunes of mankind were cast into a public stack in order to be equally distributed among the whole species, those who now think themselves the most unhappy would prefer the share they are already possessed of before that which would fall to them by such a division.
Socrates
Beloved Pan and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul and may the outward and the inward man be one.
Socrates
Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful.
Socrates
Since I am convinced that I wrong no one, I am not likely to wrong myself.
Socrates
How many things are there which I do not want.
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
One cannot come closer to the gods than by bringing health to his Fellow Man.
Socrates
The more I learn, the less I realize I know.
Socrates
Is it not, then, better to be ridiculous and friendly than clever and hostile?
Socrates
Anybody can be a hellene, by his heart, his mind, his spirit.
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
As for me, all I know is I know nothing.
Socrates
