For then, and not till then, the soul will be in herself alone and without the body.''The exchange of one fear or pleasure or pain for another fear or pleasure or pain, which are measured like coins, the greater with the less, is not the exchange of virtue.'SocratesThis small book captures just a glimpse of Socrates’ impactful thoughts and life’s work.
