The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
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… and that is a good thing for any man.
My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.
Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.
Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.
Wisdom begins in wonder.
The nearest way to glory is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
He is richest who is content with the least.
Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live.
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
An unexamined life is not worth living.
To find yourself, think for yourself.
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
