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
Are not all things which have opposites generated out of their opposites?
Socrates
The alphabet will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls. They will trust the written characters and not remember themselves.
Socrates
All wars are fought for the acquisition of wealth
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
