“As for me, all I know is that I know nothing,.”<br />― Socrates<br /><br />“As for me, all I know is that I know nothing, for when I don't know what justice is, I'll hardly know whether it is a kind of virtue or not, or whether a person who has it is happy or unhappy.”<br />― Socrates<br /><br />Socrates: "For I was conscious that I knew practically nothing..." (Plato, Apology 22d)<br /><br />Socrates' "I neither know nor think I know" (in Plato, Apology 21d).<br /><br /> I seem, then, in just this little thing to be wiser than this man at any rate, that what I do not know I do not think I know either.<br /><br />[So now I do not know what virtue is; perhaps you knew before you contacted me, but now you are certainly like one who does not know.]<br /><br />I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.<br /><br />"As for me, all I know is that I know nothing. Know thyself" actually predates Socrates and was used as an inscription at the Oracle of Delphi.<br /><br />"I know that I know nothing" is a saying derived from Plato's account of the Greek philosopher Socrates: "For I was conscious that I knew practically nothing..."
