More quotes by Socrates

Socrates

Socrates

Socrates
To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable, but to be certain is to be ridiculous.
Socrates

Socrates

Socrates
God does not deal directly with man: it is by means of spirits that all the intercourse and communication of gods with men, both in waking life and in sleep, is carried on.
Socrates

Socrates
I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can...And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all other men to do the same...I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
Socrates
There are a great many of these accusers, and they have been accusing me now for a great many years, and what is more, they approached you at the most impressionable age, when some of you were children or adolescents and literally won their case by default, because there was no one to defend me.
Socrates
The years wrinkle our skin, but lack of enthusiasm wrinkles our soul.
Socrates
Nobody knows what death is, nor whether to man it is perchance the greatest of blessings, yet people fear it as if they surely knew it to be the worse of evils.
Socrates
