The Man Who Knew That He Knew Nothing (Socrates)

He wrote no books. He built nothing. He had no money and no power. He simply walked around the city, asking people questions — gentle, simple questions that slowly revealed how little anyone truly knew. And by doing only this, he became one of the most important thinkers in all of history, and changed the way human beings think, forever.
