I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.

Do not grieve over someone who changes all of the sudden. It might be that he has given up acting and returned to his true self.

I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.

I am very conscious that I am not wise at all.

All wars are fought for the acquisition of wealth

The individual leads in order that those who are led can develop their potential as human beings and thereby prosper.

He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.
