Socrates

Socrates (c. 469-399 BCE)

“The smartest part of my skill is that I am clever without wanting to be.”

  • This saying, attributed to Socrates, was recorded in Plato’s Euthyphro (section 11d). The translation used here is by G. M. A. Grube, revised by John M. Cooper (Hackett Publishing, 2000).
