The soul then, as being immortal, and having been born again many times, and having seen all things that exist, whether in this world or in the world below, has knowledge of them all . . . all enquiry and all learning is but recollection.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Anybody can be a hellene, by his heart, his mind, his spirit.

People learn more on their own rather than being force fed.

Life without enquiry is not worth living for a man.

All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.

I am a fool, but I know I'm a fool and that makes me smarter than you.
