Teaching Of Socrates

Socrates was born circa 470 BC, in Athens, Greece. We know of his life through the writings of his students, including Plato and Xenophon. His "Socratic method," laid the groundwork for Western systems of logic and philosophy.

Socrates' main focus was on how to live a good and virtuous life.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

-Socrates

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

-Socrates

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.

-Socrates

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

-Socrates

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.

-Socrates

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

-Socrates

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.

-Socrates

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.

-Socrates

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

-Socrates

Socrates' influence was felt immediately after his death in the actions of his disciples as they formed their own interpretations of his life, teachings, and death, and set about forming their own philosophical schools and writing about their experiences with their teacher.

Socrates’, himself, wrote nothing, but his words and actions in the search for and defence of Truth changed the world and his example still inspires people today.
