Socrates

It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit.

Socrates

It is best and easiest not to discredit others but to prepare oneself to be as good as possible.

Socrates

It is not difficult to avoid death. It is much more difficult to avoid wickedness, for it runs faster than death.

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

Let us follow the truth whither so ever it leads.

Socrates

Man’s life is like a drop of dew on a leaf.

Socrates

My belief is that to have no wants is divine.

Socrates

Neither I nor any other man should, on trial or in way, contrive to avoid death at any cost.

Socrates

No one knows whether death may not be the greatest of all blessings for a man, yet men fear it as if they knew it was the greatest of evils.

Socrates

Obscurity is dispelled by augmenting the light of discernment, not by attacking the darkness.
