Quote of the day by Socrates: 'By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, youll become happy; if you get a bad one, youll become a philosopher.'

Socrates' enduring quote on marriage reveals a profound insight into personal growth and philosophical reflection. He suggested that both happy and difficult marriages serve as catalysts for introspection. Adversity, in particular, sharpens the mind, encouraging self-examination and the pursuit of meaning, aligning with his belief that an unexamined life is not worth living.
