More quotes by Socrates

Socrates
The reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.
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
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
Remember what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to speak of.
Socrates
People learn more on their own rather than being force fed.
Socrates
The poets are only the interpreters of the Gods.
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
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
