Crito, Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Pay it and do not neglect it.
Ὦ Κρίτων [...] τῷ Ἀσκληπιῷ ὀφείλομεν ἀλεκτρυόνα. ἀλλὰ ἀπόδοτε καὶ μὴ ἀμελήσητε.

More quotes by Socrates
Anyone who holds a true opinion without understanding is like a blind man on the right road.
False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live.
The end of life is to be like unto God; and the soul following God, will be like unto Him.
