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.
SocratesThe shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be, all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.
SocratesTo fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know.

And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?
Socrates
