I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.
The man who is truly wise knows that he knows very little.
I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.
Not I, but the city teaches.
Aren't you ashamed to be concerned so much about making all the money you can and advancing your reputation and prestige, while for truth and wisdom and the improvement of your souls you have no thought or car?
There is no greater magnificence than to defeat oneself. That is the magnificence.
