Teachings Of Great People

Socrates

I have never been a teacher for anyone.

However, whether young or old, if anybody wants to talk with me I have never rejected it.

I have never had the cases where I talk with people because they give me money and I don’t talk with them because they don’t.

I have been questioned by anyone without discriminating the poor from the rich.

I have had a talk with anybody about anything without hesitation if they want to listen to me.

By the way, it’s not right to attribute the responsibilities to me that, among all the people, some have become good but others bad.

I have never promised anybody yet that I would teach knowledge and have never taught, either.

Nonetheless, you have to know that it is not the case if anybody said that they learned from me personally.

Then, why do people like to talk with me for a long time and spend time with me together?

You have already heard the reason.

I have said truths.

From Apologia Sokrates
