– The Secrets of Socrates: Philosophy, Happiness & Spirituality. –

How to live a more harmonious life, serene and happy? Recognized as one of the founder of modern Philosophy, Socrates certainly must have understood something about this… But before going further let’s define what philosophy means. Etymology is often the best way to deeply understand the meaning of words. In this context, philosophy literally means “love of wisdom”. It is also the study of the nature of existence, reality and knowledge. The love of wisdom is important for Socrates as often stated in his teachings. Socrates says: “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” He is also at the origin of what is called the Socratic method, which is a type of dialogue in which asking and answering questions is the way to stimulate critical thinking which in turn brings deeper understanding… The following quotes will eventually bring you insights and clear comprehension. By doing so, you will become convinced about the truth lying behind these quotes and therefore your own critical thinking and sense of logic will become more accurate. 
“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.”
