“for the unexamined life is not worth living.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“for the best possible state of your soul, as I say to you: Wealth does not bring about excellence, but excellence makes wealth and everything else good for men, both individually and collectively.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“the most important thing is not life, but the good life.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, death scene from Phaedo

“Men of Athens, I honor and I love you, but I will obey the god rather than you and as long as I draw breath and am able, I shall not cease to practice philosophy, to exhort you and in my usual way to point out to any one of you whom I happen to meet.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“no man will survive who genuinely opposes you or any other crowd and prevents the occurrence of many unjust and illegal happenings in the city. A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“I am speaking like a book, but I believe that what I am saying is true.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“The next thing I want to do is to make a prophecy to you, the ones who voted against me; I’m now at that moment when human beings are most prone to turn prophet, when they’re about to die. I tell you, you Athenians who have become my killers, that just as soon as I’m dead you’ll meet with a punishment that �� Zeus knows �� will be much harsher than the one you’ve meted out to me by putting me to death. You’ve acted as you have now because you think it’ll let you off being challenged for an account of your life; in fact, I tell you, you’ll find 39d the case quite the opposite. There’ll be more, not fewer, people challenging you �� people that I was holding back, without your noticing it, and they’ll be all the harsher because they’re younger, and you’ll be crosser than you are now. If you think killing people will stop anyone reproaching you for not living correctly, you’re not thinking straight. Being”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“if you think that a man who is any good at all should take into account the risk of life or death; he should look to this only in his action, whether what he does is right or wrong, whether he is acting life a good or a bad man.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“فلا ينبغي لأحد ان ينساق لرأي الناس إن كان مخالفا للعقل”
― Plato, محاورات افلاطون

“It’s not from money that excellence comes, but from excellence money and the other things, all of them, come to be good for human beings, whether in private or in public life.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“not to care for any of his belongings before caring that he himself should be as good and as wise as possible, not to care for the city’s possessions more than for the city itself, and to care for other things in the same way.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“فليس عسير أيها الأصدقاء أن نفر من وجه الموت, ولكن العسر كل العسر في تجنب الأخلاق الفاسدة, فالفساد والموت يعدوان في أعقابنا, ولكن الفساد أسرع من الموت عدوا.”
― Plato, محاورات افلاطون

“To fear death, gentlemen, is no other than to think oneself wise when one is not, to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not be the greatest of all blessings for a man, yet men fear it as if they knew [b] that it is the greatest of evils.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, death scene from Phaedo

“For the fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a pretense of knowing the unknown; and no one knows whether death, which men in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good. Is not this ignorance of a disgraceful sort, the ignorance which is the conceit that a man knows what he does not know? And in this respect only I believe myself to differ from men in general, and may perhaps claim to be wiser than they are:—that whereas I know but little of the world below, I do not suppose that I know: but I do know that injustice and disobedience to a better, whether God or man, is evil and dishonorable, and I will never fear or avoid a possible good rather than a certain evil.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“If you expect to stop denunciation of your wrong way of life by putting people to death, there is something amiss with your reasoning. This way of escape is neither possible nor creditable; the best and easiest way is not to stop the mouths of others, but to make yourselves as well behaved as possible. This is my last message to you who voted for my condemnation.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“And I am called wise, for my hearers always imagine that I myself possess the wisdom which I find wanting in others: but the truth is, O men of Athens, that God only is wise; and in this oracle he means to say that the wisdom of men is little or nothing; he is not speaking of Socrates, he is only using my name as an illustration, as if he said, He, O men, is the wisest who, like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates: Four Dialogues

“the unexamined life is not worth living,”
― Plato, The Last Days of Socrates

“Men of Athens, I honor and love you; but I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy,”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates: Four Dialogues

“وإنه لعجيب ولا شك ن يكون الرجل شجاعا, لأنه مزعور وجبان !”
― Plato, محاورات افلاطون

“لا نأبه لما يقوله الناس بل العبرة بما يقوله الفرد الحكيم فلا ينبغي أن تنقاد إلا للعقل وحده حتى ولو انتهى بنا إلى الموت.”
― Plato, محاورات افلاطون

“and as I conversed with him, I formed the conclusion that, while this person seemed wise to lots of other people, and especially to himself, in reality he wasn’t; upon which I made a concerted attempt to demonstrate to him that 21d he only thought he was wise, but really wasn’t. Well, that made him hate me, as it did a lot of those who were present; but I reasoned to myself, as I left him, like this �� ‘I am actually wiser than this person; likely enough neither of us knows anything of importance, but he thinks he knows something when he doesn’t, whereas just as I don’t know anything, so I don’t think I do, either. So I appear to be wiser, at least than him, in just this one small respect: that when I don’t know things, I don’t think that I do either.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“وأنت إذا رأيت رجلا يجزع من اقتراب الموت, كان جزعه دليلا قاطعا على أنه ليس محبا للحكمة, ولكنه محب للجسد, وربما كان في الوقت نفسه محبا للمال أو القوة أو كلايهما.”
― Plato, محاورات افلاطون

“كثيرون هم من يحملون عصا السحر, أما العالمون بالسحر فقليل.”
― Plato, محاورات افلاطون

“The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways -- I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows.”
― Socrates, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“EUTHYPHRO: The truth is, Socrates, that I’m at a loss as to how to say what I want to say; somehow or other whatever we put forward has a habit of moving around and refusing to stay wherever we try to make it stand.”
― Plato, The Last Days of Socrates
