Transcending Thoughts
quotes by Socrates
Excellence
Wealth does not bring about excellence, but excellence brings about wealth and all other public and private blessings for men.
The Combat of Life
I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can...And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all other men to do the same...I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict."
Virtue
It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue every day... for the unexamined life is not worth living.
