Ancient & Medieval Philosophy -- David L. Rouse
- Consequently, Socrates was forced to conclude that the oracle was right; he was the wisest man. For he alone knew that he knew nothing.
And so I go my way, obedient to the god, and make inquisition into the wisdom of anyone, whether citizen or stranger, who appears to be wise; and if he is not wise, then in vindication of the oracle I show him that he is not wise; and this occupation quite absorbs me, and I have no time to give either to any public matter of interest or to any concern of my own, but I am in utter poverty by reason of my devotion to the god.
