"Not life, but good life, is to..." - Quote by Socrates

“An honest man is always a child.[Lat., Semper bonus homo tiro est.]”

“[N]either in war nor yet at law ought any man to use every way of escaping death. For often in battle there is no doubt that if a man will throw away his arms, and fall on his knees before his pursuers, he may escape death; and in other dangers there are other ways of escaping death, if a man is willing to say and do anything. The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.”

“Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.”

“And one of my absolute favorite quotes of all-time, one that I've adopted as one of my greatest life mottos: Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go."”

“It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.”

“Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.”

“Don't try to add more years to your life. Better add more life to your years.”

“No one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement. One must be committed. In fact, in studying the source of people's success, I've found that persistence overshadows even talent as the most valued and effective resource in creating and shaping the quality of life. Most people give up a maddening five feet from their goal!”

“There is a difference between standard of living and quality of life. Quality of life is more important.”
