"Obscurity is dispelled by augmenting the light..." - Quote by Socrates

“One thing I know, that I know nothing. This is the source of my wisdom.”

“Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.”

“We can do nothing without the body, let us always take care that it is in the best condition to sustain us.”

“To know anything about oneself one must know all about others.”

“O most delicate fiend!Who is't can read a woman? Is there more?”

“Religion, morality, and knowledge are necessary for good government... Therefore schools and the means of educating the people should always be encouraged.”

“A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.”
