...my friend, why do you who are a citizen of the great and mighty and wise city of Athens, care so much about laying up the greatest amount of money and honor and reputation, and so little about wisdom and truth and the greatest improvement of the soul, which you never regard or heed at all?...

I say again that the greatest good of man is daily to converse about virtue, and all that concerning which you hear me examining myself and others, and that the life which is unexamined is not worth living...

I am that gadfly which God has given
the state and all day long and in all places
am always fastening upon you, arousing
and persuading and reproaching you.

LET'S BEGIN IN THE GARDEN...
