( Apology By Plato Translated Into English With Introduction By Benjamin Jowett p.44) “…the unexamined life is not worth living…” – Socrates Now, let’s go through my list of authentic Socrates quotes: Most of his dialogues were recorded or written by his student Plato. The classical Greek (Athenian) philosopher Socrates never wrote anything.Īll those quotes are actually dialogues said to be uttered by Socrates, when he was having discussion with fellow philosophers and friends. In addition, some of these quotations are actually loosely paraphrased from Socrates’ long dialogues. Most, of not all of those quotations can be found in many quotes websites and even old published books.Īll of them do not cite the sources of the so-called Socrates quotes.
This is definitely authentic Socrates quotes collection taken from his dialogues.Īll the quotes published below can be found in: “ The Complete Dialogues Of Plato“, “ Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers by Diogenes Laërtius“, “ The Whole Works Of Xenophon” and “ Plutarch’s Morals By Plutarch“.Īll those pithy and profound-sounding quotes which claimed to by Socrates are NOT TRUE.
