From the book "Socrates: A Man For Our Times" by Paul Johnson (pg 28)...

1/ When window-shopping in Athens he says, "How many things I can do without!"

2/ When observing the prices he exclaims "How expensive Athens is!" and then in the next moment, "How cheap Athens is!"

3/ "Some men live to eat. I eat to live."

4/ "Hunger is the best aperitif."

5/ "I only drink when I am thirsty."

6/ "Greedy people don't appreciate delicacies."

7/ "A healthy body is the greatest of blessings."

8/ He "frequently danced," saying, "It is good for me."

9/ "Those you drink a lot don't relish rare wines."

10/ When asked, "What makes men virtuous?", he replies "Avoiding excess in anything."

11/ "Poverty is a shortcut to self-control."

12/ "Leisure is the most valuable of possessions."

13/ "Nothing is to be said in favor of riches and high birth, which are easy roads to evil."

And of course, one of his most famous lines...

14/ "An unexamined life is a life not worth living."

How cool is it that we know the things this great man said almost 2500 years ago?

I highly recommend reading the book by Paul Johnson (it's a quick read too).
