Daily Zen Quote - May 13, 2013

Socrates used to walk through the streets and marketplaces of Athens, teaching his students, "You must understand yourself. You must understand yourself. You must understand yourself."
    One day a student asked, "Sir, you always say that we must understand ourselves. But do you understand yourself?"
    "No, I don't know myself," Socrates replied. "But I understand this 'don't know.'"
