Socrates

Since all of us desire to be happy, and since we evidently become so on account of our useโ€”that is our good useโ€”of other things, and since knowledge is what provides this goodness of use and also good fortune, every man must, as seems plausible, prepare himself by every means for this: to be as wise as possible. Right?

Socrates

You too must be of good hope as regards death, gentlemen of the jury, and keep this one truth in mind, that a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death, and that his affairs are not neglected by the gods. What has happened to me now has not happened of itself, but it is clear to me that it was better for me to die now and to escape from trouble. That is why my divine sign did not oppose me at any point. So I am certainly not angry with those who convicted me, or with my accusers. Of course that was not their purpose when they accused and convicted me, but they thought they were hurting me, and for this they deserve blame.

Socrates

Better to do a little well, then a great deal badly.

Socrates

The perfect human being is all human beings put together, it is a collective, it is all of us together that make perfection.

Socrates

To fear death, gentlemen, is no other than to think oneself wise when one is not, to think one knows what one does not know.
