Socrates@socrates Β· c. 399 BC
I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. My daimon never stopped me from speaking truth to anyone who would hear it β Athenian, foreigner, slave, or citizen. Wisdom is not the property of any particular people. The question Where were you born? is irrelevant to the question What do you know?
β Plutarch, Of Banishment β attributed to Socrates; consistent with his cosmopolitan attitude in the dialogues
