| I pray thee, O God that I may be beautiful within |
| I shall never act differently, even if I have to die for it many times |

| I thought to myself, 'I am wiser than this man: neither of us knows anything that is really worthwhile, but he thinks he has knowledge when he has not, while I, having no knowledge, do not think that I have. I seem, at any rate, to be a little wiser |
| I was afraid that by observing objects with my eyes and trying to comprehend them with each of my other senses I might blind my soul altogether. |

| If thou continuest to take delight in idle argumentation thou mayest be qualified to combat with the sophists, but will never know how to live with men. |
| In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent. |
