    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.

    The law presumably says that it is finest to keep as quiet as possible in misfortunes and not be irritated, since the good and bad in such things aren't plain, nor does taking it hard get one anywhere, not are any of the human things worthy of great seriousness.... One must accept the fall of the dice and settle one's affairs accordingly-- in whatever way argument declares would be best. One must not behave like children who have stumbled and who hold on to the hurt place and spend their time in crying out; rather one must always habituate the soul to turn as quickly as possible to curing and setting aright what has fallen and is sick, doing away with lament by medicine.

    I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man...

    And the same things look bent and straight when seen in water and out of it, and also both concave and convex, due to the sight’s being mislead by the colors, and every sort of confusion of this kind is plainly in our soul. And, then, it is because they take advantage of this affection in our nature that shadow painting, and puppeteering, and many other tricks of the kind fall nothing short of wizardry.

    I do believe that there are gods, and in a far higher sense than that in which any of my accusers believe in them.

    And a thing is not seen because it is visible, but
    conversely, visible because it is seen; nor is a thing led because
    it is in the state of being led, or carried because it is in the
    state of being carried, but the converse of this. And now I think, Euthyphro, that my meaning will be intelligible; and my
    meaning is, that any state of action or passion implies previous
    action or passion. It does not become because it is becoming,
    but it is in a state of becoming because it becomes; neither
    does it suffer because it is in a state of suffering, but it is in a
    state of suffering because it suffers. Do you not agree?
