More From Val Kilmer

Socrates dies with honor, surrounded by his disciples listening to the most tender words -the easiest death that one could wish to die. jesus dies in pain, dishonor, mockery, the object of universal cursing - the most horrible death that one could fear. at the receipt of the cup of poison, socrates blesses him who could not give it to him without tears; jesus, while suffering the sharpest pains, prays for his most bitter enemies. if socrates lived and died like a philosopher, jesus lived and died like a god.
Jesus Pain Wish To Die
The difference between socrates and jesus is that no one had ever been put to death in socrates' name. and that is because socrates' ideas were never made law. law, in whatever name, protects privilege.

If confucius can serve as the patron saint of chinese education, let me propose socrates as his equivalent in a western educational context - a socrates who is never content with the initial superficial response, but is always probing for finer distinctions, clearer examples, a more profound form of knowing. our concept of knowledge has changed since classical times, but socrates has provided us with a timeless educational goal - ever deeper understanding.
Educational Teaching Knowing
Socrates.- if all goes well, the time will come when one will take up the memorabilia of socrates rather than the bible as a guide to morals and reason... the pathways of the most various philosophical modes of life lead back to him... socrates excels the founder of christianity in being able to be serious cheerfully and in possessing that wisdom full of roguishness that constitutes the finest state of the human soul. and he also possessed the finer intellect.
Philosophy Philosophical Soul
It must be granted that in every syllogism, considered as an argument to prove the conclusion, there is a petitio principii. when we say, all men are mortal socrates is a man therefore socrates is mortal; it is unanswerably urged by the adversaries of the syllogistic theory, that the proposition, socrates is mortal.
Men Logic Granted
The shortest way to arrive at glory should be to do that for conscience which we do for glory. and the virtue of alexander appears to me with much less vigor in his theater than that of socrates in his mean and obscure. i can easily conceive socrates in the place of alexander, but alexander in that of socrates i cannot.
