Socrates: We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.

My friend…care for your psyche…know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves.

The really important thing is not to live, but to live well. And to live well meant, along with more enjoyable things in life, to live according to your principles.

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

Let him who would move the world first move himself.  

To find yourself, think for yourself.                               

Those who are hardest to love need it the most.     

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.                       

Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.                         

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.      

SOCRATES
