Sayings of Socrates 31


Wherefore, O judges, be of good cheer about death, and know that this is of a truth—that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. . . . 

For which reason also, I am not angry with my accusers, or my condemners; they have done me no harm, although neither of them meant to do me any good; and for this I may gently blame them.

—Plato, Apology 41c–e
