A collection of thousands of years old wisdom

Photo by Letters From E.K.

Socrates (469–399 B.C.) is a great philosopher who lived in Ancient Greece.

Since then the ideas and words he had left behind have been a source of wisdom for many people.

So today I’d like to share with you 7 ancient life lessons by Socrates and hope you’ll find them inspiring.

1-What we speak about tells a lot about ourselves

“Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.” ― Socrates

2-Gratitude is a mindset

“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.” ― Socrates

3-Empathy is a great compass

“Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.” ― Socrates

4-Let the outside reflect to inside

“May the inward and outward man be as one.” ― Socrates

5-Filter your words

“Is it true; is it kind, or is it necessary?” ― Socrates

6-Your mind leads your life

“The mind is everything; what you think you become” ― Socrates

7-Differentiate between surviving and living well

“The really important thing is not to live, but to live well.” ― Socrates
