Quotes from Socrates:
“As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.” – a motto of humility telling us that any knowledge he had was completely negligible, other than how much is left still to be discovered.
“Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.” – a motto of wisdom
This quote by Socrates simply talks about how our curiosity of our knowledge makes us seek for the truth that we already know or don’t know.
