As I love quotes and Socrates, I am sharing some quotes which inspire and guide me:
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.”
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
“I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.”
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all!”
