Socrates was a Greek philosopher and is frequently credited as the founder of Western philosophy. He left no writings, but his student Plato documented his philosophy.

Some of my favorite translated sayings attributed to Socrates:

• Enjoy yourself — it’s later than you think.
• He who is not content with what they have will not be content with more.
• Do not praise someone wealthy until you known how they employ it.
• We should hear and see more than we speak.
• False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
• He is rich who is content with the least.
• Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior.
