| SocratesGreek. Philosopher. Viewed philosophy as necessary pursuit of all intelligent men; teacher of Plato.
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward be at one. By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for. I am a citizen not of Athens or Greece, but of the world. I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. 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. Let him that would move the world first move himself.Living well and beautifully and justly are all one thing. My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher. The shortest and best way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be. The soul is pure when it leaves the body and drags nothing bodily with it, by virtue of having no willing association with the body in life but avoiding it.......Practicing philosophy in the right way is a training to die easily. The unexamined life is not worth living. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. Wisdom begins in wonder. |
