Most Famous Socrates' Quotes

Even if you’re not a philosophy enthusiast, you are sure to have encountered some of Socrates’ most famous quotes throughout your life. His nuggets of wisdom have stood the test of time and still offer inspiration to people today.

As a follower of Socrates' philosophy, I try to live by his wise quotes and sayings.  Below are ten of my favourite Socrates' quotes:

1.  “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”

2. “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

3. “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.” 

4. “There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
 
5. “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

6. “Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.” 

7.  “Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.”


8.  “To find yourself, think for yourself.”


9.   “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”


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