The truth is, O men of Athens, that God only is wise; and in this oracle he means to say that the wisdom of men is little or nothing; he is not speaking of Socrates, he is only using my name as an illustration, as if he said, He, O men, is the wisest who, like socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing.
- Plato (from “The trials and death of Socrates - Apology”)
Abraham Lincoln
