Fri June 10 2011 Quotes from Socrates
Quotes from Socrates:
“All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.”
“A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.”
“Be as you wish to seem.”
“An honest man is always a child.”
“As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.”
“[Man] is always becoming a new being and undergoing a process of loss and reparation, which affects ... his soul as well. No man's character, habits, opinions, desires, pleasures, pains, and fears remain always the same; new ones come into existence and old ones disappear.”
