When asked by a young man if he should seek to marry, Socrates answered him:
“By all means marry: if you get a good wife, you will be happy; if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher.”
Just had a little earthquake – Natural Resources Canada is reporting an automatic detection of a 4.8 magnitude earthquake at Braeside, Ontario, at 9:43 EDT, May 17th, 2013.
I’ve heard it said that animals are ‘sensitive’ to this sort of thing – my dog is oblivious…
UPDATE: The earthquake was actually centered at Shawville, Quebec, and was 5.3MN magnitude.
The Oracle of Delphi called Socrates 'the wisest man' because he said:
"I know I know nothing!"
Of course, he only knew this because his wife, Xanthippe, told him so.
Every day!
