Wisdom & Self-Knowledge

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The only thing I know is that I know nothing.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Knowing others is wisdom; knowing yourself is enlightenment.

No man is free who is not master of himself.

Joy is not in things; it is in us.
