socrates



I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.
Socrates

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parent,
gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.
Socrates

Crito, I owe a cock to Asclepius; will you remember
to pay the debt?
Socrates, dying words

The more I read him, the less I wonder that they poisoned him.
Thomas Babington MacAulay, on Socrates
