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.”
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!

Xanthippa:
Another great talk, with a particularly strong finale!
Labeling those who disagree with the agenda as extremists is one of the core strategies for keeping people in line.
The reason it works is that we have tacitly accepted the false idea that extremism is bad.
We must reject that idea.
When someone pins this label on you, wear it with pride.
Another point comes to mind, regarding “Allah’s money.”
This reminds me of a conversation I had with a Canadian Muslim.
I remarked that there should be no such thing as a controlled substance, because my body belongs to me and not to any government. Therefore no government has a right to dictate what substances I may and may not put in my own body.
The Muslim replied, “No, your body does not belong to you. It belongs to Allah. And a properly formed government is Allah’s representative. Therefore it has every right to dictate what happens to your body.
Once again, we see that the fundamental tenets of Islam are diametrically opposed to those of Western culture.
There is no hope of compromise or assimilation.
