Text Quotes
Fellow citizens, why do you burn and scrape every stone to gather wealth and take so little care of your children to whom you must one day relinquish all?  (Socrates Quotes) The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less  (Socrates Quotes) The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death  (Socrates Quotes) Virtue does not come from wealth, but wealth, and every other good thing which men have comes from virtue  (Socrates Quotes) What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?  (Socrates Quotes) I have not sought during my life to amass wealth and to adorn my body, but I have sought to adorn my soul with the jewels of wisdom, patience, and above all with a love of liberty  (Socrates Quotes) True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all  (Socrates Quotes) We can do nothing without the body, let us always take care that it is in the best condition to sustain us  (Socrates Quotes) By far the greatest and most admirable form of wisdom is that needed to plan and beautify cities and human communities  (Socrates Quotes) The wise man seeks death all his life, and for this reason death is not terrifying to him  (Socrates Quotes) True perfection is a bold quest to seek. Only the willing and true of heart will seek the betterment of many  (Socrates Quotes) It is possible that a man could live twice as long if he didn’t spend the first half of his life acquiring habits that shortens the other half  (Socrates Quotes) Some have courage in pleasures, and some in pains: some in desires, and some in fears, and some are cowards under the same conditions  (Socrates Quotes) It is better to make a mistake with full force of your being than to carefully avoid mistakes with a trembling spirit  (Socrates Quotes) To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images  (Socrates Quotes) Nobody is qualified to become a statesman who is entirely ignorant of the problem of wheat  (Socrates Quotes) It is better to be at odds with the whole world than, being one, to be at odds with myself  (Socrates Quotes) When you want wisdom and insight as badly as you want to breathe, it is then you shall have it  (Socrates Quotes) One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, no matter how one has been mistreated by him  (Socrates Quotes) Is there anyone to whom you entrust a greater number of serious matters than your wife? And is there anyone with whom you have fewer conversations?  (Socrates Quotes) True wisdom lies in one’s confession about the limits of one’s knowledge  (Socrates Quotes) My friend... care for your psyche... know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves  (Socrates Quotes) 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 Quotes) It is not difficult to avoid death. It is much more difficult to avoid wickedness, for it runs faster than death  (Socrates Quotes) I prefer to be refuted than to refute, for it is a greater good for oneself to be freed from the greatest evil than to free another  (Socrates Quotes) Be of good hope in the face of death. Believe in this one truth for certain, that no evil can befall a good man either in life or death, and that his fate is not a matter of indifference to the gods  (Socrates Quotes) Why do you wonder that globetrotting does not help you, seeing that you always take yourself with you? The reason that set you wandering is ever at your heels  (Socrates Quotes) If the whole world depends on today’s youth, I can’t see the world lasting another 100 years  (Socrates Quotes) 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 Quotes) The nearest way to glory a shortcut, as it were is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be  (Socrates Quotes)
