//50 Timeless Quotes by Socrates That Will Change Your Life Forever//

News is knowledge, Knowledge is news / //50 Timeless Quotes by Socrates That Will Change Your Life Forever// Socrates ( 469–399 B.C.E.) remains one of the greatest minds the world has ever known, even though he never wrote a single word himself. His influence came through the words of his famous students like Plato, and through countless generations who admired his ability to ask powerful questions and reveal hidden truths. Born in Athens, Socrates lived during a time of political chaos, yet he remained committed to his purpose of inspiring others to think deeply. Even though he was sentenced to death by the Athenian democracy for " corrupting the youth, " his words have survived through history and continue to challenge and comfort us today.
