It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue (aka areté) every day...for the unexamined life is not worth living.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Nothing very new. By taking good care of yourselves you are of service to me and my family as well as yourselves, no matter what you do, even if you don't think so at present. But if you neglect yourselves and are unwilling to live, as though following tracks, in accordance with what we now say and have said in the past too, then no matter how much or how seriously you agree with me at present you will accomplish next to nothing.

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.

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.

To move the world we must move ourselves.
