[N]either in war nor yet at law ought any man to use every way of escaping death. For often in battle there is no doubt that if a man will throw away his arms, and fall on his knees before his pursuers, he may escape death; and in other dangers there are other ways of escaping death, if a man is willing to say and do anything. The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.
SocratesIt is better to be at odds with the whole world than, being one, to be at odds with myself.
SocratesWhen you want wisdom and insight as badly as you want to breathe, it is then you shall have it.
