Socrates Quotes on Life (8 Quotes)


    Be of good hope in the face of death. Believe in this one truth for certain, that no evil can befall a good man either in life or death, and that his fate is not a matter of indifference to the gods.

    Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

    If I tell you that I would be disobeying the god and on that account it is impossible for me to keep quiet, you won't be persuaded by me, taking it that I am ionizing. And if I tell you that it is the greatest good for a human being to have discussions every day about virtue and the other things you hear me talking about, examining myself and others, and that the unexamined life is not livable for a human being, you will be even less persuaded.

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

    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.


    Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

    The unexamined life is not worth living.

    The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.
