"Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued."
"Be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death."
"The unexamined life is not worth living."
"Do not trouble about those who practice philosophy, whether they are good or bad; but examine the thing itself well and carefully. And if philosophy appears a bad thing to you, turn every man from it, not only your sons; but if it appears to you such as I think it to be, take courage, pursue it, and practice it, as the saying is, 'both you and your house."
"The greatest blessing granted to mankind come by way of madness, which is a divine gift."
