More quotes by Socrates
Athletics have become professionalized.
Socrates
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.
Socrates
How many things are there which I do not want.
Socrates
In order that the mind should see light instead of darkness, so the entire soul must be turned away from this changing world, until its eye can learn to contemplate reality and that supreme splendor which we have called the good.

Socrates
If the whole world depends on today's youth, I can't see the world lasting another 100 years.
Socrates

Socrates
God desired to be the real maker of a real bed, not a particular maker of a particular bed, and therefore He created a bed which is essentially and by nature one only.
Socrates
If I can assign names as well as pictures to objects, the right assignment of them we may call truth, and the wrong assignment of them falsehood.
Socrates
Those who want the fewest things are nearest to the gods.
Socrates
The hardest task needs the lightest hand or else its completion will not lead to freedom but to a tyranny much worse than the one it replaces.
Socrates
Though flattery blossoms like friendship, yet there is a vast difference in the fruit.
Socrates
Either I do not corrupt the young or, if I do, it is unwillingly.
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
