More quotes by Socrates
YOU ARE NOT ONLY GOOD TO YOURSELF, BUT THE CAUSE OF GOODNESS IN OTHERS
Socrates
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Socrates

Hence there may well be an art whose aim would be to effect this very thing.
Socrates
To move the world we must move ourselves.
Socrates

Socrates
Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior.
Socrates
If you can do only a little. Do what you can. What you cannot enforce, do not command.
Socrates

Let us follow the truth whither so ever it leads.
Socrates

Socrates
If a man comes to the door of poetry untouched by the madness of the Muses, believing that technique alone will make him a good poet, he and his sane compositions never reach perfection, but are utterly eclipsed by the performances of the inspired madman.
Socrates
The individual leads in order that those who are led can develop their potential as human beings and thereby prosper.
Socrates
Those who want the fewest things are nearest to the gods.
Socrates
Whenever, therefore, people are deceived and form opinions wide of the truth, it is clear that the error has slid into their minds through the medium of certain resemblances to that truth.
Socrates
Be the kind of person that you want people to think you are.
Socrates
A man should inure himself to voluntary labor, and not give up to indulgence and pleasure, as they beget no good constitution of body nor knowledge of mind.
Socrates
Better to do a little well, then a great deal badly.
Socrates
