Socrates Said.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, and but one tongue-to the end that we should hear and see more than we speak.

The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.

I am not an Athenian, nor a Greek, but a citizen of the world.

He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.

Enjoy yourself — it’s later than you think.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.

Worthless people love only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.

Remember, no human condition is ever permanent. Then you will not be overjoyed in good fortune nor too scornful in misfortune.

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.

What a lot of things there are a man can do without.

The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.

Be as you wish to seem.

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”

“The very essence of romance is uncertainty.”
“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.”
“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
