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.

Socrates

Socrates
Anybody can be a hellene, by his heart, his mind, his spirit.
Socrates
Do not be angry with me if I tell you the truth
Socrates

Hence there may well be an art whose aim would be to effect this very thing.
Socrates
How many things are there which I do not want.
Socrates
