Socrates
“To fear death, gentlemen, is no other then to think oneself wise when one is not, to think one knows what one does not know.”
Socrates, Apology

Socrates
“I am likely to be wiser than he to this small, extent, that I do not think I know what I do not know”
Socrates

Socrates
“There is one way, then, in which a man can be free from all anxiety about the fate of his soul - if in life he has abandoned bodily pleasures and adornments, as foreign to his purpose and likely to do more harm than good, and has devoted himself to the pleasures of acquiring knowledge, and so by decking his soul not with a borrowed beauty but with its own - with self-control, and goodness, and courage, and liberality, and truth - has fitted himself to await his journey in the next world.”
Socrates

Socrates
“Intelligent individuals learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid already have all the answers.”
Socrates

Socrates
“No one knows whether death may not be the greatest of all blessings for a man, yet men fear it as if they knew it was the greatest of evils.”
Socrates, Apology
