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.

An honest man is always a child.

Are you not ashamed of your eagerness to possess as much wealth, reputation, and honors as possible, while you do not care for nor give thought to wisdom or truth, or the best possible state of your soul?

The hour of departure has arrived and we go our ways; I to die, and you to live. Which is better? Only God knows.

When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

If you want to be wrong then follow the masses.

Just as you ought not to attempt to cure eyes without head or head without body, so you should not treat body without soul.
