The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Quotes by Socrates
Beware the barrenness of a busy life.
"The years wrinkle our skin, but lack of enthusiasm wrinkles our soul."
The way to gain a good reputation, is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
"Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care. Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant"
All that I know is nothing - I'm not even sure of that.
I know nothing but the certainty of my own ignorance.
When you propose ridiculous things to believe, too many men will choose to believe nothing at all.
"I only know how little I know"
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young like, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person.
