About This Quote

The true philosopher is a man who says "All right," and goes to sleep in his armchair. People who say they are wise but do not act upon their wisdom are actually fools. It is the opposite of what the wise man does. In this quote, Socrates says that a wise man is one who has his mind made up and acts upon it, while a fool is one who does not have his mind made up and tries to convince others that he is wise.
