More quotes by Socrates
A system of morality that is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception that has nothing sound in it and nothing true.
Socrates
The greatest of all mysteries is the man himself.
Socrates
Nothing is so well learned as that which is discovered.
Socrates
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
Socrates
My divine sign indicates the future to me.
Socrates
Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.
Socrates
Follow the argument wherever it leads.
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
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates
The tongue of a fool is the key of his counsel, which, in a wise man, wisdom hath in keeping.
Socrates
For this fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown since no one knows whether death, which they in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Socrates
If you can do only a little. Do what you can. What you cannot enforce, do not command.
Socrates
Just as you ought not to attempt to cure eyes without head or head without body, so you should not treat body without soul.
Socrates
Flattery is like a painted armor only for show.
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
The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness for that runs faster than death.
Socrates
I shall never fear or avoid things of which I do not know.
Socrates
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
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
All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.
Socrates
