"Understanding a question is half an answer...." - Quote by Socrates

“What a lot of things I don't need.”

“A man should inure himself to voluntary labor, and not give up to indulgence and pleasure, as they beget no good constitution of body nor knowledge of mind.”

“He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.”

“Commonsense is the wick of the candle.”

“He who would reproach an author for obscurity should look into his own mind to see whether it is quite clear there. In the dusk the plainest writing is illegible.”

“What the essential difference between man and woman is, that they should be thus attracted to one another, no one has satisfactorily answered. Perhaps we must acknowledge the justness of the distinction which assigns to man the sphere of wisdom, and to woman that of love, though neither belongs exclusively to either. Man is continually saying to woman, Why will you not be more wise? Woman is continually saying to man, Why will you not be more loving? It is not in their wills to be wise or to be loving; but, unless each is both wise and loving, there can be neither wisdom nor love.”

“The basic economic resource - the means of production -is no longer capital, nor natural resources, nor labor.It is and will be knowledge.”

“To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.”

“Almost any mode of observation will be successful at last, for what is most wanted is method.”
