“I was attached to this city by the god—though it seems a ridiculous thing to say—as upon a great and noble horse which was somewhat sluggish because of its size and needed to be stirred up by a kind of gadfly. It is to fulfill some such function that I believe the god has placed me in the city. I never cease to rouse each and every one of you, to persuade and reproach you
all day long and everywhere I find myself in your company.”
― Socrates, Apology

“Wisdom is knowing you know nothing”
― Socrates

“Everything is plainer when spoken than when unspoken.”
― Socrates

“Athenian men, I respect and love you,
but I shall obey the god rather than you...”
― Socrates, Apology
