More From Socrates
- "I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good."
- "I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean."
- "True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us."
