Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
Similarly with regard to truth, won't we say that a soul is maimed if it hates a voluntary falsehood, cannot endure to have one in itself, and is greatly angered when it exists in others, but is nonetheless content to accept an involuntary falsehood, isn't angry when it is caught being ignorant, and bears its lack of learning easily, wallowing in it like a pig?
The man who finds that in the course of his life he has done a lot of wrong often wakes up at night in terror, like a child with a nightmare, and his life is full of foreboding: but the man who is conscious of no wrongdoing is filled with cheerfulness and with the comfort of old age.

I am that gadfly which God has attached to the state, and all day long
There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.
Only a philosopher's mind grows wings, since its memory always keeps it as close as possible to those realities by being close to which the gods are divine.
No human thing is of serious importance.
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.
Everything that deceives may be said to enchant.
The philosopher whose dealings are with divine order himself acquires the characteristics of order and divinity.
O dear Pan and all the other gods of this place, grant that I may be beautiful inside. Let all my external possessions be in friendly harmony with what is within. May I consider the wise man rich. As for gold, let me have as much as a moderate man could bear and carry with him.
No wealth can ever make a bad man at peace with himself
Let parents then bequeath to their children not riches but the spirit of reverence.
Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.
